Today in our morning meeting Bob gave us an anagram to solve that was someway rela
ted to Imaging Science. What he gave us: isotara. What is is unscrambled: astoria. Charles Carlson was the inventor of xerography and in 1938 he produced the first successful copy which read the date and location: "10-22-38 Astoria." So the word Astoria was the first word copied on paper and it was also where Carlson lived. (Astoria, Queens, NY)
So onto what I did today. I used the diode array to scan samples of Iron and I made a the graphs on Excel. This took me about all morning because I had to wait for someone to be at the stock
room so I could get more cuvettes. I ate lunch at Crossroads with the VP group and Laura.
After that, Jen showed me how to set up an Excel spreadsheet to keep our data organized and then she showed me the mulit-step process of cleaning NMR tubes ( see pic) with acid and pure water. Then we went back over to Building #8 and mixed up some calcium samples. And that is basically all for the day. Once again, Jenn is really teaching me a lot about chemistry and NMR.
I'm missing work tomorrow for family stuff so this is technically my Friday!!!!
