from 6:-00-6:30, everyone in the room will give their 2 min introduction,
and our meeting will begin at 6:30 and last to 8.
Basically, this will be a planning meeting for the year.  Attendees are
asked to
bring up the names of people who we would like to have talk at our meetings,

well as agenda for future meetings.  We will discuss companies, and trends
in the biotech industry, as well as ways in which to get hired.
