Student SIG gives an opportunity to get together to discuss papers during the day

Society has gone more towards application recently
Student SIG help gets foundations from peers
Also opportunity to network for future systems scientists

Red thread concept from Cancun and Sonoma, good to hear what's important

Integration of hard and soft approach, with more respect
Demand for educational background
Talk about the primer
Continued pressure on Len Troncale to write a book

Primer: Need a commitment from established members to provide feedback on the content, as a learning opportunity

Question: All of the discussion on the rigour, need some educational materials

But, how to we market ourselves as systems scientists, as students looking to get paid somehow
