 * 11:00 We discussed the presentations and came up with a few conclusions.
 * We can't use Malaria because it does not exist in water, but rather in the mosquito and human bodies
 * Cholera, Typhoid, and Hepatitis E are water-bourne diseases that actually exist in still water
 * The yeast cell wall will not allow us to detect larger proteins
 * 11:50 Further Questions
 * Is Directed Evolution the right method?
 * Is there a disease that has been studied enough that we will be able to make this sensor?
 * Should we use yeasts without cell walls? or maybe come up with something entirely different?
