Meeting Summary: Oct 2, 2020

• Announcements and Other discussions: Graduate students involved in the forward upgrade met again today in-person at BNL to discuss the work plan. FCS assembling will start next week. Students are working in separate labs and even in separate times of the day to maintain social distancing. David proposed to work every other day for himself after two weeks to keep a balance between thesis analysis and forward upgrade work.
