July 24th, 2017: Day 13

During the morning meeting we just had a recap of the week, nothing too exciting. Paige was late so I was sad and lost until she showed up. I met with Roger this morning to discuss what we'll be doing with his data. He's been studying the Jubilee Palimpsest. His way of analyzing data and his explanations about each procedure are completely different from Dave's. I've been struggling somewhat to bring out the under-text, mainly because my computer has been stuck on the 0% done loading bar for the past 10 minutes but also because this project is such a turn around from what we've been doing with Dave. After a few days I'm sure I'll pick it up and understand what's going on but until then I plan to mess with functions until I know each of their use. It's like the first day again, confusing and scary. Roger has been in and out all day checking on us so it's been helpful with him answering questions and then cutting us loose to try and fail. Hopefully tomorrow will be better along the lines of figuring things out. I'm mostly excited for the field trip Thursday so I've been thinking about that all day! I don't have a large amount of data to post about the palimpsest but I do have a few results that I'll add in later.

These are two results I have, the first one being an SAM result using the under-text as a region of interest. The second image is a PCA result done using bands 4,5,6. Neither of them show the under-text perfectly but they're a start

July 20th, 2017: Day 11

The morning meeting wasn't too bad today, we finished up the abstracts and had a good chat. Paige and I had the most eventful morning we've ever had, we got to go to all four floors and visit all of the labs trying to find people. We also talked to Ryan to let him know how disappointed we were with him but he's fine. We've been putting the final touches on the presentation and it looks pretty good. Peter, Ashley, and Tristan came up for lunch and we analyzed life's deepest mysteries like if Peter's shorts were shorter than mine, which they definitely were, and each others social media pages. It was a pretty good lunch. I've been doing a lot of reading today in the absence of work. Going back and forth between a dry book and a semi-dry presentation is absolutely exhilarating. Paige has been making a lot of small changes to the slides and I'm good with that, they aren't major and she's right to do most of them so I'm glad she sees some of these

July 26th, 2017: Day 15

Today's morning meeting was exciting, truly exhilarating. I have so much to report. Anjana told the group about what she is doing in her lab and why she requires charcoal. Nate told us a little bit about what he's doing in the kLab. He said he'll bring in his laptop on Friday to show the group some of his code and images. Paige and I were asked what The Jubilee's Palimpsest is, our latest project but we never received a concrete answer on that so we'll ask around. After the staff meeting, we went to help Titus and Aditi gather more information for their project. We went to the athletic complex and the ice rink with Peter and Ashley while tracking each others eye movement. The only thing I know about the experiment is that we were going to unfamiliar places. Pretty riveting stuff, I'd have to say. Today I mainly made image cubes and got a few results that I'll post later. My computer has been acting up lately and it's getting really frustrating. It&

July 19th, 2017: Day 10

During the morning meeting today Joe attempted to look up my house of Google Maps but unfortunately, the car did not drive down my street. We did three more abstracts today and they were all pretty good. Paige and I will be the second one done tomorrow so we'll give it a final review later today. Dave isn't here today so we're on our own and doing extra things to add to the presentation. I just finished a slide that has 12 chips of the map all compared to the red pigment of the chrysanthemums in Japan. I'll add that in at the bottom after I finish this. Paige is working on comparing chips of the map to a blue pigment and using the island off Southwest Sumatra as reference. Yesterday she did the same thing using green pigments and put together a map and I'm attempting to do the same but there are far less red pigment on the map so the SAM image is usually white with a small amount of black or grey. I'll add that image in later too. I guess all we have left to do
