|
|
rlm@84
|
170 <a href="http://www.obs2015.org/">Global Organ Banking Summit</a>, where I competed in the hackathon
|
|
rlm@84
|
171 competition with around eight other teams from around the world. The
|
|
rlm@84
|
172 goal was to come up with promising new areas relating to organ
|
|
rlm@84
|
173 preservation, with an emphasis on novelty and practicality. Each team
|
|
rlm@84
|
174 was assigned a professional cryobiologist to help evaluate
|
|
rlm@84
|
175 ideas. There were three rounds of judging:

188 Our team came up with the idea of poly-vitrification and presented the

189 following presentation, available here:

200 competition and the prize money, which we split four-ways among our

201 group members. It was really quite a fun experience!
