	* Redesign the Feedback Control System of a Bacteria - this challenge got written up as a [[Bacteria Design Challenge\|potential example]] for an NSF systems engineering work. Synthetic biology is making progress on some of the components required to do this, but there is still a long way to go.		* Redesign the Feedback Control System of a Bacteria - this challenge got written up as a [[Bacteria Design Challenge\|potential example]] for an NSF systems engineering work.

	At a ARO strategic planning meeting, I had the opportunity to look back on the list of problems (including copying it to my wiki) and think through were we are on these various problems. Here are some quick thoughts.
