Meeting Notes

Everybody must come to meetings.
Change of time: 6:15PM (same place)
Read Overview of cloning and Introduction to Biobricks. We'll go over the techniques mention during next meeting.

Split up work. Email Nora if you are interested in one of the following positions:
- Event coordinator: Be in charge of planning, executing Synthetic Biology events during the year
- Public relations director: Organize advertising for Synthetic Biology events and increase the visibility of iGEM on campus. Communicate with media.
- Treasurer: Keep track of our funds, from corporate sponsors to RSO money.
- Corporate relations manager: Maintain communication with corporate sponsors and follow progress of grants and donations. Will work closely with treasurer.
- Internet communications director: Keep up the wiki and website. Maintain blog.

Not enough people attended today's meeting to thoroughly discuss project decision. Everybody must come next week to finalize project and begin experimental design.

Logo/Slogans: If anyone wants to design our logo and/or self-deprecating slogans for our iGEM t-shirt email your ideas to the list-host. Otherwise we'll pay someone, which is completely unnecessary.

We took individual pictures. Next meeting (Sunday, 5:15pm, GCIS)we'll take the rest of team member photos as well as a group photo.
