Action points:

Finish the powerpoint presentations.

Get new ideas.

Separate notebook and brainstorming on the wiki.

Today we continued brainstorming for ideas and we completed the powerpoint presentations for the Anti-venom and the serum bile acid sensor ideas. During the brainstorming session we found out that Brown is also researching the use of urease to make sand bricks for their mars expedition themed project so we scrapped the idea. However, we still looked into other ways of stopping desertification. We also came up with the idea of using different strains of bacteria that would become more or less buoyant depending on the amount of different heavy metals in the water. We also discussed maybe focusing on looking into engineering B. subtilis to produce spores that are more adept at crystallizing water crystals to continue a bioprecipitation project from a team back in 2009.

We also were introduced to some of the PhD. students from the department and got some delicious chocolate cake in the process. This was followed by us presenting our ideas to the aforementioned PhD students as well as Professor Freemont, Professor Kitney, Dr. Ellis and some other guests. Our two main ideas were shot down for being either too boring or too risky. Then we discussed the other ideas that we had and discussion ensued. The main point that I got out of this is that we tried to focus on two ideas too early and that we should not confine ourselves so early.
