Can’t believe six weeks have gone by so quickly.  It seems like yesterday we were at our orientation and anxiously waiting to begin.   (Kind of don’t want it to end.)  I have enjoyed every bit of the journey.  There’s an air of melancholy as write these lines, yet we must see the end as an accomplishment.

In this last week I have worked on the final draft of my poster and wrapped up all the possible lab work I could.  Too bad we had instrumentation issues, so I could not see the full fruition of our labor.  We were attempting to see if our samples would produce a change/shift in absorbance and fluorescence in detecting TiO2 in water samples.  You know how some instruments work……they have a mind of their own. However, my mentor says he will keep me posted.

Well this it for now!!  Can’t wait to get to Houston!

Special thanks to my mentor Reagan Turley and Primary Investigator Dr Jorge Gardea Torresdey.
