Day 6


This week I'm all alone :( Dr. Hornak is at a conference and Nicole is on vacation with her family. Luckily, Jenn and Brittany will be around this week so I can help them. Also, there is an Honors freshman that is joining the MRI lab today too.

So anyways, I printed out the graphs Nicole and I finished on Friday afternoon this morning. After I did that, I decided to start reading Dr. Hornak's online book The Basics of MRI. By lunchtime, I had finished the first 6 chapters. So far, it is helping me understand the math and physics behind MRI.

So after having lunch with Laura (she's back from Europe...YAY!), I went back to Building #8. Brittany was there and she showed me how to measure and make the stock and samples of Iron solution for the NMR. After I watched her do one sample in the NMR, I came up to the computer lab to write my blog.
I also got to meet Steve today. He's the honors freshman that will be working in the MRI lab. Tomorrow I will finally get to spread my weeks-worth of knowledge with the world by showing him how to use the diode-array spectrometer. YAY!!! So thats about all for today :)
