+Inti is here and we're talking about Macaulay2—and the programmatic aspects of it. Allows us to contribute to open source, "if you're really into tech or math it's good i guess."
+
+Gandini also went on about the standing desk. We can put 2 oreos on the standing desk, and it'll be very exciting. 
+
+#### Quick Check-in
+##### Sasha
+* Sasha had her class—talked about the opening symposium
