| | + | '''Colin''' - This week, I set up the notebook/journal and began a documentation of our bootcamp week. I updated my personal wiki page to be informative, and added consistency and simplicity to the wiki as well as wiki editing. Also, I created the newsletter page and fixed the default formatting in the website. I also added a news feed today, but news is slow for us... |

| | + | '''Jeremy''' - I updated my compilers and started to debug the code I wrote last week. The weighting function for each individual reaction code works. The weighting of each additional reaction is measured as the sum of stoichiometric coefficients of each extraneous byproduct multiplied by the number of atoms in each byproduct. The branching code seeks to minimize this weighting. |

| | + | '''Anna''' - I looked more into cell modeling; this involves taking the cells with added plasmids and checking to see if they will work by running growth models. This is done by generating a flux, or a change in chemical concentrations over time, and the maximizing output of a given product over time. This can check for plasmid compatibility. The modeling looks at interactions on the molecular level or cellular level to determine the best experiment to do, allows us to narrow down the pathway. Perhaps the modeling can be used to determine what sorts of ribosome binding sites, codons, terminator sequences and resistance would be best to use. This is done by taking into account how the components affect the cell. We learned more about bioethics, specifically being able to teach bioethics at the Gamescamp. Gamescamp is a club for girls interested in math, science and engineering. The presentations are July 30th and August 13. We discussed more ideas of how to be able to discuss with the public about bioengineering. We were referred to some books about bioethics as well. We discussed a brochure to inform the public about the projects as well as get some fundraising. We discussed the strain designer more, and how we can add something to it. Look out for the June newsletter! |

Weekly Lab Notebook
June 20 – June 26
Colin - This week, I set up the notebook/journal and began a documentation of our bootcamp week. I updated my personal wiki page to be informative, and added consistency and simplicity to the wiki as well as wiki editing. Also, I created the newsletter page and fixed the default formatting in the website. I also added a news feed today, but news is slow for us...
Jeremy - I updated my compilers and started to debug the code I wrote last week. The weighting function for each individual reaction code works. The weighting of each additional reaction is measured as the sum of stoichiometric coefficients of each extraneous byproduct multiplied by the number of atoms in each byproduct. The branching code seeks to minimize this weighting.
Anna - I looked more into cell modeling; this involves taking the cells with added plasmids and checking to see if they will work by running growth models. This is done by generating a flux, or a change in chemical concentrations over time, and the maximizing output of a given product over time. This can check for plasmid compatibility. The modeling looks at interactions on the molecular level or cellular level to determine the best experiment to do, allows us to narrow down the pathway. Perhaps the modeling can be used to determine what sorts of ribosome binding sites, codons, terminator sequences and resistance would be best to use. This is done by taking into account how the components affect the cell. We learned more about bioethics, specifically being able to teach bioethics at the Gamescamp. Gamescamp is a club for girls interested in math, science and engineering. The presentations are July 30th and August 13. We discussed more ideas of how to be able to discuss with the public about bioengineering. We were referred to some books about bioethics as well. We discussed a brochure to inform the public about the projects as well as get some fundraising. We discussed the strain designer more, and how we can add something to it. Look out for the June newsletter!
