3 Ideas Later...

Well we have finally made it through the "Three Ideas Presentation", and as of yesterday, have finally narrowed down our many ideas to one topic.  The presentation itself allowed for myself, as well as the rest of my team, to further explore particular areas of synthetic biology in hopes to find a project area to explore.

Many ideas were tossed around, but eventually we settled on a cancer detection method, more efficient wound sealant, and a biological sunscreen.  The eventual single idea we settle on had to do with the search for innovative cancer detection methods, to better detect cancerous cells at an earlier stage in development.  Although all ideas posed plausible areas of expansion, we decided that the project pertaining to cancer research had the widest range of possibilities available.

In the next few weeks we will see where our initial ideas will take us.  In addition to this, we must consider all ethical, societal, and environmental concerns which will inevitably arise as a result.  The coming weeks will be very enlightening to say the least, and will more than likely create complex thinking among our group en route to proposing the best final presentation we can.  I'm sure looking forward to it!
