+* Splash screen
+  - User reported splash screen not reflective of user diversity
+  - Most startup-times are around 2 seconds (ticket #4379), so splash screen not useful, unpleasant flash at startup.
+  - Eric will remove splash screen and move team photo to About dialog.
+  - Greg will look into showing install status for long Toolshed installs that occur at ChimeraX startup.
+
+* R01 proposal
+  - Discussed 5 innovation ideas emailed by TomG
+  - Molecular simulations - want to connect this strongly to cryoEM needs.
+  - UMAP visualization, dimension reduction
+    - Tristan mentions cryoDRGN for multi-conformational EM might be a UMAP cryoEM application.
+  - Large tiled image data - this is one new frontier of diverse data type handling.
+  - Video docs, did not have time to discuss
+  - Toolshed support for PyPi or Conda distributions by third-party developers.
+    - This is meant to be complementary to current Toolshed
+    - Conda is a standard PyMol installation method, also standalone binary available.
+    - Scooter notes PyMol has plugin manager that can pull plugins for various sites.  Nice UI.
+  - Also need R01 proposal to continue porting high-impact Chimera tools.
