Letter provided by Farshid
Kathy Concerns: -if we are working as a team, then we should suggest to have U of W mentioned somewhere in the letter -the companies are not given much motivation aside from advertising on Tshirts. We would like to strength this area by providing stronger reasons as to why companies would wish to invest in us.

-we would like to also compile our own list of local cambridge companies
WEEF/MEF proposals (Linda)
- went over presentation requirements
- Linda, Anne, Kathy and Christina (with help from Sam) will start drafting the proposal this week
- budget could not be compiled until we receive numbers for lab equipment, and travel expense estimate, and team size estimate (are we helping to fund the expense from U of T?)
- Patrick will look into possibilities of applying for the Dean's funding
Lab Space
- if possible, the team expressed much interest in having at least part of the lab work being conducted here
- Chris will speak to Dr. Charles and other contacts within biology to look into how feasible this idea will be. Update on next week's meeting.
- Lance could potentially be the wetlab trainer
Thermometer Project
Chris expressed possible issues with the current design and would love to seek further clarification We would like to surface our concern as to what we can contribute to this project. Does the model need to be fine tuned? Could we help out with any of the lab work?
Post-Thermometer or Parallel Project)
Everyone will have some ideas that is up for discussion for next week's meeting. Chris shared with us his idea on "glow in the dark bacteria".
Concerns to address
- need to address precisely what the UW team can contribute to the project, aside from fund raising.
- we need to take a stand on how much we would like to initiate in terms of acquiring funds
