Description of project:

We are attempting to develop a testing kit for environmental estrogens using yeast that contain the human estrogen receptor as described in this paper.

List the bibliography.

Draw a diagram how the YES assay works.

To Do List before January 23rd grow week!

1. read up on growing yeast--particularly home brewing kits
2. read up on how to prepare water samples for testing.
--Bisphenol A samples from water bottle
--water from tap
--water with Phthalates
--what other samples could we test?
3. develop concepts for designing home testing kits
4. develop concept for gallery show
