- Brain storming of possible ideas for the upcoming summer iGEM competition
- Creating printed circuit boards based upon UT 2004 team.
- The idea surrounds on a concept of control etching of copper using a sensing gene (e.g. light or magnets). Possibly form a death circuit to manipulate which bacteria etch copper and which do not.
- Using A. Ferrooxidans, a iron oxidizing bacteria to accomplish the above goal.
- Using cellulose eating bacteria to explore the possibilities of creating biofuel or food sources from cellulose.
- Genetically modify bacteria to create a detection mechanism (e.g. blood type, TNT)
- Genetically modify bacteria that creates toxic chemicals for mosquitos
- Creating printed circuit boards based upon UT 2004 team.

Friday, 1st
- Introduce non-undergraduate members of the team (Dr. Banta, Dr. West, and three graduate students)
- Vote as team to focus on Copper etching as summer project
- Consider the options: etching vs. depositing
- Etching - based on master's thesis by a student from University of Michigan, will use A. Ferrooxidans
- Will need to consider if A. Ferrooxidans will be gronw on solid or liquid media
- Need to consider light or another source of a kill gene-promoting mechanism
- Depositing - based on Yale 2010 iGEM team that uses E. coli
- Etching - based on master's thesis by a student from University of Michigan, will use A. Ferrooxidans
- Other possibility: recycling circuit boards
- Tour Dr. Banta's lab at Columbia
- Assess the equipment available at respective labs at Columbia and Cooper
- Create initial groups in pursuit of controlling mechanisms for etching copper
Monday, 4th
- Dr. Orbach's lecture on microbiology based on Biology of Microorganisms 13th Ed.
- Create new subteams for project
