April 12th Non-Mentor Meeting

Our Tuesday night meeting was a meeting to remember. Matt was conflict resolution (read: food provider), and we all thought that he had forgotten to bring some chow... but suddenly he pulled out an enormous steak from his netbook... and voila! we had a feast.

Now, that clearly didn't happen... but imagine if it did! In truth, we reviewed our goals for the week, and heard Ravi give a run-through of his upcoming Unite for Sight presentation. He spoke clearly and intelligently, and we are excited to hear the feedback he gets from the conference this weekend. He will go through another dry-run this Thursday in our mentor meeting with Dr. Shah.

We broke up into sub-teams after to bring everyone up to date:

Materials/Construction: ordered all parts, and is awaiting arrival. Will be going on a field trip tomorrow to the local Home Depot (We can do it, and they can help!) to purchase the remaining materials.

Case Study: Deciding on an "action plan" to merge the Thesis proposal and NSF proposal into a formidable study!

NBA Playoff's Team: Andrew took 3:1 odds that the Knicks make it farther in the playoffs than the Hawks.

Modeling: Matt and Kelly will spend the next few days breathing Comsol, and experimenting ElmerFem... an opensource finite element analysis software based out of Finland... sounds like a blast!

Good luck Team and keep it FRESH!
