'''Summary'''

* Participants: JB, BC, EG, EH, HT, KL, JM

* Status updates
  * Clash with the WP managers' meeting, to be re-timetabled.
  * Plan to combine 3 stages of processing in simulation pipeline into a single script. - HT
   * Discussion of labelling of power spectrum.
   * Observance of odd behaviour in depth plots of old datasets.
  * Picking up work regarding deep learning for photoacoustic imaging. - EG
   * Executing simulations with the aim of comparing image reconstruction between iterative and deep learning methods.
   * Promising results for deep learning and aim to move forward with more realistic data.
   * BC suggested looking at IPASC.
   * KL suggested BC make contact with WL at IC.
  * Discussion on how to spend money in case of end-of-year funding - JM
   * A single transducer demo could be a place to start.
   * KL suggested progressing with a first setup with scintillating fibre planes and ultrasonic transducer in a water phantom.
  * First iteration of the Ion Acoustic Dose Mapping section of the proposal to be drafted. - JB
* Actions
  * JM and JB to get prices for kit in case of end of year funds.
  * JB to write first draft of proposal section.
  * BC to talk with EG and WL.
