We need some candys ;)
   2. Alex will buy Velcro and Polystyrene spheres,
   3. Posters: We will make the photos on Wednesday at 5 pm!!!, also already for the homepage… . We have booked the printer on Thursday afternoon. Could all go over the posters and take a look please (look in Dropbox). Plese wear for the photoshooting: Jeans and T-Shirts with intense colours,
   4. Shifts of the Long Night of Science: 3 people for 2 ½ h. Be here already at 5 pm, Agata will make a doodle for the shifts.
   5. We get 5 T-Shirts altogether and vouchers for a meal at the canteen, two bottles (one water, one apple juice) for the station -> so you should bring sth. for yourself I guess this is not enough for the whole evening
2. Update about the lab work:
   1. The GUV group makes quite good progess in learning the techniques… Exam break for 2-3 weeks now…
3. Visa: Please inform yourself about the length of the Visa process as soon as possible so we can estimate the time you need for the whole process ##We need to talk to the supervisors who will accompany us to Boston? Harvard University will pay for the accommodation…so they need to know how many people are going so they can arrange the rooms. ##Visa process: please don´t apply so far but gather the information what you need to get a visa and collect all the information (e.g. letter from BIOTEC that you are a student here….). Suggestion: the Visa application should be done then in the beginning of August as soon as we know how much money we approx. get from the companies (how supportive they are…) and so we know for how many people we can pay the flight.
