This week seemed to go by fast! It was mostly spent in meetings, webinars, and brainstorming sessions, but ended with me going home to Washington for the weekend. That was the theme for this week - exploring the different types of meaningful connections in my life.

For my second week with APS, I was met with a lot of meetings, a lot of questions, and a lot of opportunities to grow. We have hit a slight snag in the main project I am working on, which has required a lot of clarification.

This will be my last blog post for the summer, as my internship has officially concluded. I spent this last week presenting my progress to a few NASA personell and plenty of SPS guests. I talked about the background of LDI mass spectrometry and the drawbacks of the dried droplet method.

I have finally presented my project for the first time in front of a panel of Goddard Space Flight Center personell. I got a chance to get some feedback about what worked and what didn't.

Another late entry! I have spent my week going to the lab at my campus, it is has finally paid off. To recap, the goal for me was to analyze methods of depositing solvents for use with LDI mass spectrometry.
