August 15th, 2017: Day 29

There was no morning meeting today, instead we went through everyone's presentations up until lunch time. Mine and Paige's presentation was exactly 15 minutes and I think we did a nice job. I feel pretty good about it. I spent most of the afternoon looking at more C73 files Roger gave us. Nothing too exciting happened later in the day, just a standard time with my favorite partner. I do have a few results from the C73 images but they're the same for every file. PCA isn't doing much for me these days, SAM and ICA have been my best results.

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...
