We are currently working on developing new projects to do. Right now we have 3 "pet projects"

1. Bacterial Warfare : Continuing on the old project. Have to start over, so need to do literature research all over.

2. "Dancing" Bacteria : Creating bacteria that will fluoresce when hit with a certain wavelength of light, and varying the wavelength of light to cause the bacteria to "dance"

3. Engineering Bacteria to create colored proteins to be used as an alternate food coloring.

This list will be updated as time goes on.

Next meeting will either be 3/4 or 3/5. We need to do some literature research on the topics, and we assigned topics to the people who came to the meeting on 2/20. If you were not at the meeting, just try to do some work on how we could do these.

Go through Purdue Libraries [2] to get to the research databases. I prefer Web of Science.

ANYONE INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING IN SURF, PLEASE EMAIL CRAIG BARCUS cbarcus@purdue.edu , DR. JENNA RICKUS rickus@purdue.edu, and DR. KARI CLASE kclase@exchange.purdue.edu.

Anyone who knows how to edit these things, please clean this dude up, cause making things look pretty is not my strong point (Craig)
