 * Week of January 18-22**

Today I was able to scan. I'm not sure though if this means they have already fixed the fried circuitboard because it has only been 4 days or so since it was discovered that it is broken. So I'm not sure if the problem has actually been fixed yet and I didn't even think to ask. The reason I'm not sure if the circuitboard has been replaced yet is because the scope is behaving exactly as it had been before it was declared to be broken. The images appeared to be just as poor. I'm not sure if the reason I couldn't scan on Friday of the week before was because of the fried circuitboard or that the piezo wasn't approaching or the scope for some reason wasn't tunneling. The images progressively got worse as I scanned.

I did not go into the lab today. I attended the Graduate Research Symposium in the Jordan Hall of Science. We were able to attend this and earn extra credit by writing a paragraph about what we learned from listening to them explaining their project and viewing the poster that they had made. There were snacks and beverages and the grad students were being judged during the symposium. I felt that it was helpful to attend this because it sounds alot like what we have to do in February for our projects. Attending this event really helped me to see how these things run and gave me a better understanding on what I have to do for my presentation. Also in attendance was LM.
