My final week was full of activities and it was lots of fun! On Monday, I went to NIST for a few hours to get some final words of advice from my mentor about my presentation. Afterwards, I traveled to ACP for a great lunch with Fred Dylla, the Executive Director and CEO of the American Institut

This week I made a lot of progress at work and I’m excited to see how my project concludes in the next week or so. I’m working closely with the scientist who will be continuing my project after I leave, and it’s been a great experience.
