August 10th, 2017: Day 26

During the morning meeting we discussed the final presentations and what some people did yesterday. After the meeting we talked to Dave about a few things we wanted to add. I think Paige and I are just about done with the presentation but I'm not 100% sure about that. Personally, I think it's a pretty good presentation. We got an email from Robert/Bob complimenting us on our blogs, I'm pretty thrilled to know that he took the time to see what we're up to. In his email he also mentioned a few things about different maps at the Bodleian. I'm not sure what they are but he attached them to the email so I might as well take a look at them. I spent the better part of my day working with Roger's data. It's not going into the presentation but the results are still kind of neat. I keep forgetting to save them as JPEGs but today was the day that I actually did.

July 25th, 2017: Day 14

I have nothing to report about the morning meeting. We got new data from Roger and we spent a lot of the time just making image cubes. We also visited the 3D printer to make a part that Peter and Ashley needed while our files were loading. Today has mainly consisted of renaming things and making image cubes and asking David Lewis for help. Thank goodness for David Lewis. We haven't created any new images so unfortunately nothing exciting to post in the blog today..

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...
