__ Memo 12 -- Schedule of Activities __
 * 1) Compose questions for all forums/social-networking spaces
 * 2) Input questions to appropriate forums and websites
 * 3) Contact professionals for interviews (Woodhouse, Nieusma, Eglash, Lyles, Winner, Swersey, Haley, Mishra, Adam Brooks [former robotics student], John Wenn [prof. in EE], Jeff Trinckle [CS, in robotics], Stan Reissman [BME], Suvranu De [MechE, former research prof.], Ledet [freshman convo about URP])
 * 4) Contact "non-professionals" [graduated BS/MS, in the workforce today] for interviews (Colin Popell, Nick Knapp, Daniel Schlegel, Steve Lentine, John Crawford, Kevin Kempf, Jeff Nassar, James Cazzoli, Thomas Reddington, Rob Chase, John Brucker, Blaise Hartley, Chris Shake, Paul Pfann)
 * 5) Contact "experts" for potential interviews (see Memo8) [Nicholas Agar, Nick Bostrom, James Hughes, Gregory Stock, Ronald Bailey, Simon Young)
 * 6) Begin literature search (with Zotero) into Literature (physical books), online resources (Backlog).
 * 7) Begin interviews with professionals (Fridays)
 * 8) .... Summarize interview results, poll results...

It should be noted here that we do not have high expectations for our ability to actually have access to many of the individuals listed above -- and if so, priority must be placed on individuals with the highest "expertise" in the regarded field. Keep in mind personal biases, workplace environments, background bias.
