Team:Newcastle/Meetings/11 August 2010

Roll calls

• Apologies: Neil
• Absence: Matt, Jem, Colin Harwood and Colin Davie

T-shirts

T-shirts are almost ready. However, everyone needs to send their preferred names to Janetta to be printed onto the T-shirts. The actual printing will take approximately a week.

Judging Criteria

• We should focus on one of the Gold requirements and if there is any extra time, another requirement can be tackled
• Possibly look at other teams' wiki pages to identify any area that we may potentially be able to help - perhaps St Andrews' modelling???

Modelling

Modelling should be the main focus after the lab work - after August.

Lab feedback

• Gibson cloning - find out whether it's worked tomorrow
• Subtilin immunity - ongoing, currently doing gel electrophoresis and extraction

Research feedback

All the research feedbacks are done. For now, no need for anymore.
