Argh, I have not gotten it. I can try to check around/get forever...in the mean time maybe just try sending it to the reviewer/mod directly and seeing if he can forward the email/files to everyone else?
I finished and sent mine! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Yours came in fine. The reviewer I think is just busy with life or school or both or something (also he got majorly backed up by the ton of invasives submissions). He may have feedback, but I have not even gotten to all of mine yet because I have been sick myself.

Has anyone written a Forensics test yet? For lab based tests, is it okay to stray slightly from the usual formatting of tests and insert photos or descriptions of the powders for example, since real powders can't be provided? Thanks!

You may if you wish. Just make sure that you keep the test at an acceptable level of difficulty. :)

For those that were curious what has been submitted, here is what I have down from a quick check.

-28 total submissions with 25 individual ones (by this I mean a few people have submitted for different events).
-The events with more than one submission include It's About Time (7...I know you all love me, but I would certainly not mind submissions for some of the other events :P), Invasives (4), Disease Detectives (3), Anat&Phys (2), Cell Bio (2).
-Events with only one submission right now include Air Traj, Astronomy, ChemLab, Crave the Wave, Dynamic Planet, Electric Vehicle, Forensics, Fossils, Hydrogeo, Road Scholar.
-In case you are too lazy to figure out what has not been done yet (though, you should certainly revisit the first post for various useful details), then these include Bottle Rocket, Crime Busters, Elev Bridge, ExpD, Food Sci, Game On, Geomaps, Green Gen, Meteo, Mission, Picture This, Protein, Reach for the Stars, Robot Arm, Scrambler, Wind Power, Wright Stuff, WIDI. Close to getting down half the events, and at least many of these have some practice already online (but not all, hop to it!)

Keep up the good work! I think the main event that does not need more submissions is It's About Time...you all only get as much varied practice as you submit!

For an event like proteins, can I upload my notes from last year, even if much of the material relates to a theme (Editing the Human Genome) that will be replaced and rendered irrelevant next competition season? This seems to defeat the purpose but given that we don't know next year's theme yet... :?

Edit: Nevermind, I did some rooting around and it seems that the new theme has indeed been released! I'll redo my notes, then :D

I emailed my submission to SSSS a week ago and still haven't been replied to or added to the file share. Was my email received correctly? I email Blake directly with follow-up.
Events I've Been In: Disease Detectives, Technical Problem Solving, Gravity Vehicle, Scrambler, Mission Possible, Air Trajectory, Robot Arm, Experimental Design, etc.
