synthesis

Moving into the synthesis phase today, although some groups have questions remaining. The disaster in Japan is just mind-blowing, and I think will forever etch this project into most of my students heads. It gives a sense of urgency to our efforts when you think that the same thing could happen in Seattle or Portland, minus the nukes. Visiting museum big burn exhibit tomorrow, and hope to have a speaker from MC emergency services office soon. Still not sure about a final audience, but I don't want to commit to a venue until I see how the presentations are shaping up. Maybe we should commit now, however, so they have to make it solid.
