Over the weekend the group met up to discuss the two potential projects we could go forward with using our synthesised gene and the Biobrick it will ultimately produced. We developed two main themes; one was a multi-sensor system sensing oxygen-containing physiologically-relevant molecules and reporting on the levels of each molecule; the other was a comparator circuit sensing levels of molecular species and using novel gene expression to express reporters for specific molecules within the environment to quantitatively measure them. We decided on the latter as we felt it would have the highest scientific impact, a diagram of the gene system for one of the sensors is given below.

Amy (our artist) came to visit us today in order to discuss our video. She, Joy and Rachel began to storyboard the film and work out how to incorporate the decision made over the weekend into the video. They came up with some fantastic ideas and the whole team sat down to discuss them before Amy left to organise making props. Joy also got in touch with the UEA Drama School in order to see whether we could hire a studio in order to film our video.
