Highlights (some of the things that worked)

+Cambridge - Chemical control of bacterial chemotaxis using BioBrick parts, writing DNA to store information (flipase switch) +Texas - Working and improved bacterial photography and signal processing device (built from BioBricks) +Berkeley - Two-way cell-cell DNA communication (could lead to a bacterial internet) +MIT - Iron-induced control of any BioBrick device +Penn State - Genetic control of bacterial chemotaxis using BioBricks (MotB) +Harvard - write and erase components for a bacterial sketch pad; stamped bacterial patterns to make "biowires." +UCSF - wanted biological temperature detector, got a programmable biological thermometer
