Notes

  1. Minutes for 06/08/2021 are approved unanimously.
  2. Trista worked on getting the invoice for the club T Shirts and finalizing the order. Payment is already processed and design is in progress. T Shirts would be ready soon.
  3. Travel grants, two travel grants are processed. And waiting for the third one. So funds are utilized well within time. Rest of the amount will be rolled over.
  4. Genomic workshop update -
    • Vijay updated about the meeting with Max and other instructors for the workshop. All the instructors were busy on June 24-25, so decided to postpone the workshop. Also the time was short for the announcement.
    • Another meeting to decide new dates will be organized by Max in which instructors and helpers would join and plan to come up with a suitable date for the workshop.
    • Next workshop in July or August 2021. If that does not work then we might have to take up the workshop in Fall 2021.
