We'll also discuss the upcoming iGEM deadlines for this year's competition, including the new 2-page write up due this year.

We'll then break into groups and have a discussion about the Giant Jamboree presentations and posters, with the following end goals: 1. a few ways for each team to improve their current presentations and 2. a few possible layouts for posters for each team.
