Today is Dave's last day. We are finishing our data analysis and preparing a presentation for Tuesday and for next June when I address the incoming R.E.T.s. Jiangshui asked us to consolidate our data with the appropriate pictures into folders describing surfactant concentration, date of experiment, and photographs analyzed.


This took much of the morning. Greg Dabkowski came by with our checks, and I asked him if it would be appropriate for me to approach Dr. Crosby about having some of my students perform research over the school year in conjunction with his research here. During lunch, Greg told Dr. Crosby of my hope for the students to do actual, relevant research, and Dr. Crosby spoke to me at length about the prospect. He was excited by the idea and will meet with me, Greg Dabkowski, and graduate student Chelsea early next week to see what we can do together. This is thrilling!
