   1.171 +<p>
   1.172 +On February 26, 2015 I went to the <a href="http://www.organpreservationalliance.org/">Organ Preservation Alliance's</a>
   1.173 +<a href="http://www.obs2015.org/">Global Organ Banking Summit</a>, where I competed in the hackathon
   1.174 +competition with around eight other teams from around the world. The
   1.175 +goal was to come up with promising new areas relating to organ
   1.176 +preservation, with an emphasis on novelty and practicality. Each team
   1.177 +was assigned a professional cryobiologist to help evaluate
   1.178 +ideas. There were three rounds of judging:
   1.179 +</p>
   1.180 +
   1.181 +<ol class="org-ol">
   1.182 +<li>An initial review of our ideas where we selected one to develop
   1.183 +further.</li>
   1.184 +<li>Presentation to a selected panel of judges. Only two teams would be
   1.185 +selected out of the eight from this round.</li>
   1.186 +<li>Final presentation to the entire Summit, where all the
   1.187 +cryobiologists present would determine the winner.</li>
   1.188 +</ol>
   1.189 +
   1.190 +<p>
   1.191 +Our team came up with the idea of poly-vitrification and presented the
   1.192 +following presentation, available here:
   1.193 +<a href="../ref/2015-McIntyre-OPA-hackathon-presentation.pdf">2015-McIntyre-OPA-hackathon-presentation</a>.
   1.194 +</p>
   1.195 +
   1.196 +<p>
   1.197 +Later, we wrote up a summary and published it in an abstract in the
   1.198 +journal Cryobiology: <a href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0011224015001686">Poly-Vitrification Abstract</a>.
   1.199 +</p>
   1.200 +
   1.201 +<p>
   1.202 +We gave a really solid presentation and ended up winning the
   1.203 +competition and the prize money, which we split four-ways among our
   1.204 +group members. It was really quite a fun experience!
