RM's Logbook


 * Monday, January 14, 2008**

As I read the four chapters in the particle physics book over the weekend, I created a new page today with summaries from all four chapters. I read a paper about a group of scientists working on nanowires at Duke University. It seems like a more cutting-edge technique to achieve the same purpose that my mentor is teaching us to do. I'll e-mail the professors this week and see whether it would be more worthwhile for me to branch into what they're researching. They still use the AFM and much of the other techniques that I have learned; therefore, it would be a relatively smooth transition.

I was sick today. I wasn't in a fit condition to go into the lab, either.


 * Wednesday, January 16, 2008**

I continued checking my best practices list.


 * Thursday, January 17, 2008**

I was out of town.


 * Friday, January 18, 2008**

I was, again, out of town.
