 <h2>Monday (May 9)</h2>
-After introducing ourselves to each other, we began brainstorming project concepts. Four main ideas surfaced: Using a biofilm to filter out fine particulate matter, developing a biosensor to detect naphthenic acids, developing a method to clump fine particulate matter, and promoting sulphur-reducing bacteria. We split ourselves up into groups to examine the feasibility of each idea.
 <h2>Tuesday (May 10)</h2>
-The initial findings of our research were completed and we narrowed our focus towards the biosensor idea. The requirements for developing a biosensor specific to naphthenic acids were discussed, and a list of areas for further research was developed. The group was split into separate teams once again, to determine the extent of prior research in the area.
