169 On February 26, 2015 I went to the <a href="http://www.organpreservationalliance.org/">Organ Preservation Alliance's</a>
170 <a href="http://www.obs2015.org/">Global Organ Banking Summit</a>, where I competed in the hackathon
171 competition with around eight other teams from around the world. The
172 goal was to come up with promising new areas relating to organ
173 preservation, with an emphasis on novelty and practicality. Each team
174 was assigned a professional cryobiologist to help evaluate
175 ideas. There were three rounds of judging:
176 </p>
177
178 <ol class="org-ol">
179 <li>An initial review of our ideas where we selected one to develop
180 further.</li>
181 <li>Presentation to a selected panel of judges. Only two teams would be
182 selected out of the eight from this round.</li>
183 <li>Final presentation to the entire Summit, where all the
184 cryobiologists present would determine the winner.</li>
185 </ol>
186
187 <p>
188 Our team came up with the idea of poly-vitrification and presented the
189 following presentation, available here:
190 <a href="../ref/2015-McIntyre-OPA-hackathon-presentation.pdf">2015-McIntyre-OPA-hackathon-presentation</a>.
191 </p>
192
193 <p>
194 Later, we wrote up a summary and published it in an abstract in the
195 journal Cryobiology: <a href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0011224015001686">Poly-Vitrification Abstract</a>.
196 </p>
197
198 <p>
199 We gave a really solid presentation and ended up winning the
200 competition and the prize money, which we split four-ways among our
201 group members. It was really quite a fun experience!
