Discussions

Streamlining communications: now two email lists 1) General iGEM 2) iGEM experiments. Everyone should adjust email settings to allow desired level of communication.

teams: human vs. bovine cloning, or team divisions between tasks (cloning, yeast, protein purification) as a way to keep track of what has been done and make sure reagents are stored properly, etc. Marc can be point person for protein purification team

Indiegogo update: $750 donation yesterday; increase plasmid naming rights to 5 --> 4 originals + FAM20C.

Cloning

QUARTZY: if you receive iGEM stuff, please enter it into our inventory for tracking.
