The172 goal was to come up with promising new areas relating to organ173 preservation, with an emphasis on novelty and practicality. Each team174 was assigned a professional cryobiologist to help evaluate175 ideas. There were three rounds of judging:176 </p>178 <ol class="org-ol">179 <li>An initial review of our ideas where we selected one to develop180 further.</li>181 <li>Presentation to a selected panel of judges. Only two teams would be182 selected out of the eight from this round.</li>183 <li>Final presentation to the entire Summit, where all the184 cryobiologists present would determine the winner.</li>185 </ol>187 <p>188 Our team came up with the idea of poly-vitrification and presented the189 following presentation, available here:190 <a href="../ref/2015-McIntyre-OPA-hackathon-presentation.pdf">2015-McIntyre-OPA-hackathon-presentation</a>.191 </p>193 <p>194 Later, we wrote up a summary and published it in an abstract in the195 journal Cryobiology: <a href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0011224015001686">Poly-Vitrification Abstract</a>196 (<a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.cryobiol.2015.05.062">http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.cryobiol.2015.05.062</a>).197 </p>199 <p>200 We gave a really solid presentation and ended up winning the201 competition and the prize money, which we split four-ways among our202 group members.
