+           title="Describing and Synthesizing Microfluidics">
+  <short>
+    <p>
+      Derek Rayside presents current research on the field of microfluidics.
+      Microfluidics are currently developed mainly by trial and error. How can
+      this be improved?
+    </p>

+  <abstract>
+    <p>
+      Microfluidics is an exciting new area concerned with designing devices
+      that perform some medical diagnoses and chemical synthesis tasks orders
+      of magnitude faster and less expensively than traditional techniques.
+      However, microfluidic device design is currently a black art, akin to
+      how digital circuits were designed before 1980.
+      <br></br>
+      We have developed a
+      hardware description language that is appropriate for the description
+      and synthesis of both single-phase and multi-phase microfluidic devices.
+      These are new results that have not yet been published. This is
+      collaborative work with other research groups in Mechanical Engineering,
+      Chemical Engineering, and Electrical Engineering.

+    <p>
+      GM for the W2015 term, two main amendments to be discussed: Requiring
+      elections to be held within two weeks of the beginning of term and
+      adopting a club-wide code of conduct.
+      <br></br>
+      Code Party 1 follows, we're doing timed code golf problems, T-shirts might
+      find themselves on people who do well on code golf.
