RM's Logbook


 * Monday, February 4, 2008**

Today, I entered the notes I took over the weekend on chapters seven and eight of the subatomic physics book. I encountered a few problems with wikispaces, and attempted to create this very page. I e-mailed Dr. Sarveswaran to notify her of the change in lab days.

I did not go into the lab today, but I entered another chapter's notes into my particle physics page. Once again, I encountered technical difficulties, and could not access my main logbook page. The AFM page took many times to appear. I had some problems inserting links. As a result of these difficulties, I e-mailed DL, and he thought that perhaps it is this computer. I need to check this site at home to see if I can access my logbook page.

Today, I'm going to enter my notes of the last chapter in the particle physics book. It is a shortened period, so I will try to fix any errors and update my logbook in the remaining time.

Today, I went to the lab. I put 20 microliters of DNA solution on the silicon soaked in 70% ethanol solution. Last time I went to the lab, I took many images. This time, not one was good. I couldn't even find any DNA on the sample. So, for next time, I'm going to prepare a new ethanol and APTES sample, and perhaps let the DNA sit on the surface for 15 minutes, instead of 10 minutes.

Today, I'm updating my logbook and creating new pages. I'm still experiencing technical difficulties with my main logbook page and the main AFM page. Even when I try to access the page in roundabout ways, the page will not appear.
