Shortlisting

Took longer than expected but Jannetta has by now published the results.

Any other business

  • Don't want to take major decisions about project ideas without supervisor present as guiders
  • Won't be creating DNA sequences by April
  • Don't talk over people in meetings
  • Day before meeting - circulate agenda, previous action points and minutes.
  • Start of meeting: revisit minutes - does anyone have any problems with previous minutes? People report on progress on action points.
  • Next meeting on Friday at 4.10 p.m.
