 - **KL:** Seek Amato om slides
 - **KL:** Post set of presentations on wiki for reference and pilferring
 - **KL:** Solicit or find slides from Yolanda
 - **CJ, KL, PP:** Liaise to produce initial slide deck by 14Jun23
 - **IMcN:** If there is a Div. of Cancer rep attending White City on 23Jun, make contact with
 - **KL:** Seek meeting to brief Sandrine Heutz for KL and IMcN
 - **KL:** (Added) Ask Sophie for slide template, if there is one

== Notes ==

**Present:** IMcN, PP, CJ, KL. 

1. //[wiki:BioPhysicsX/Meetings/2023/2023-05-02 Notes and actions]: // All \\
 Actions:
 - CJ, KL, PP to meet in a fortnight -- DONE
 - Seek two meetings with IMcN; one in a month and one just before his presentation on the 26Jun23 -- Done
 - IMcN: Consider seminar at CSC -- Stands

2. //BioPhysicsX two-pager: // CJ, All \\
 [raw-attachment:2023-05-02-BioPhysicsX-d1.docx Present draft] \\
 Points outstanding from last meeting:\\
  - Solicit input from:
   - Expert communicators.
   - European technology network, and, in consultation with IMcN, colleagues in FOM at Imperial.
  - Different versions need to be prepared for, e.g.:
   - "Public"/lay audience;
   - Influences/decision makers;
   - Funding agency personnel/Institute (Imperial, Oxford) leads
 We agreed: 
  - Update to take into account PP comments;
  - Proceed to take advice on current draft as above;
  - Proceed to develop different versions for various audiences as above;
  - Add "pictures" where appropriate and add a timeline.

3. //Support for IMcN 10 min presentation to CRUK on 26Jun23: // CJ, All \\
 [raw-attachment:2023-06-07-BioPhysicsX-d1.pptx First draft of slides] \\
 Key underlying messages, to help focus discussion:
  - improving clinical outcomes
  - radiobiology at cellular level, currently unchartered territory
  - innovation happens at disciplinary interfaces
  - already started
  - collaborative with international partners

 Notes from our discussion:
 - Need intro slide on science that will be addressed and why protons/ions are different to other sources of radiation.  Need to emphasise, e.g.:
  - High LET; ions vs protons;
  - Flexibility of novel source; ion species, time, space, and energy distributions;
  - Different mechanisms for cell damage, different stimulation of immune response.  Perhpas include "mean distance between ionising events" plot;
  - Mini/micro beams and biological excitement; (space and time structure of beam).
 - Critical to get Amato i/p (**action KL**).  Need to gather set of presentations on wiki for reference (**action KL**).
 - Critical to get input from Yolanda and some of her slides (**action KL**).

5. //CIO submission: // KL, All \\
 Stalled again, will need biographical information for trustees ... take forward separately

 - Under separate cover, liaise to get IMcN bio information (**action KL**).

6. //Actions and next steps: // All
 - We agreed:
   - Goal to get draft slides by 14Jun in advance of 16Jun meeting.
   - **CJ, KL, PP** will liaise. 

7. //DONM//
 - 16Jun23; 08:00 BST

8. //AoB//
 - Note visit to White City: 23Jun23
   - IMcN will identify Div. of Cancer prepresentative so that KL and whomever can liaise.
 - Report to Sandrine Heutz
   - Agree KL will ask for a meeting to brief on our pitch.
