– 11/14/2020 –

Dear MVP students and parents,

1) Groups
I hope the new groups work well for everyone. All groups were prepared based on last weekend’s meeting attendance projection responses, so if you did not submit last week’s form, you probably don’t have a group. Please check your group in the “2020-21 MVP Groups” worksheet under the 2020-21 MVP Resources folder. It has two tabs – Sat and Sun.
If you have any problems, please indicate it in this week’s attendance projection form.

2) COVID-19 and genes
Although we have started on RNA expression, an interesting study about genes associated with COVID-19 severity based on sequencing data has been published. It contains various analyses and indications, and I thought some people may want to read it. I will briefly mention the study during the meeting.

3) From the fundraiser committee,
Please respond to this quick (two questions) service form. Thank you for your help.

4) This week
We will start to look for a dataset and connect it to our research questions.
You can find a detailed schedule in the”2020-21 MVP Schedule” worksheet under the 2020-21 MVP Resources folder in the shared Google Drive.

Thinking about meeting you makes my heart beat faster! Oh, heads up: we don’t have a meeting on Nov 28th (Thanksgiving break).
