| ===Overview===
| |
| Synthetic Biology Working Group lunches are an opportunity for anyone in the Boston-area who is interested in synthetic biology to get together and discuss current issues and topics in the field. Each lunch discussion is led by someone (selected at the end of lunch the previous week) and focuses on a particular topic. The style of the lunch is really meant to be a ''discussion'' rather than a presentation. Therefore, discussion leaders frequently give a chalk talk or only have a handful of slides to help structure discussion.
| |
| | |
| Announcements regarding Synthetic Biology Working Group lunches are sent to synthbio AT mit. To join the mailing list, go [https://ca.mit.edu/moira/index.jhtml here] or contact [[Isadora Deese]]. All are welcome to attend.

| ==Proposed topics==
| |
| Some potential topics to be discussed at MIT SBWG lunch ... just brainstorming ... please edit. (I know that we had talked about having people present but I think there are also a set of issues that several people's projects touch on but aren't being addressed by any one person.) Apologies because these aren't articulated very well.
