WEDNESDAY

I told my mentor that I wanted to focus on my abstract because it was due on that day through slack, and she understood. So I headed to the library to do that. But before that, I headed to the earth science building to get my paycheck from Faiza. Once I arrived to Fodren library. All I did all day writing, as well as editing my abstract.

THURSDAY

On this day, I was finally given the materials for the extruders. However, it was only like 60% of the parts that I needed actually shipped. So my mentor told me to assemble the parts that I already had. So that’s what I did most of the day. I was just watching a tutorial on YouTube about to assemble it. Thankfully, there was additional parts in the workshop that was in the lab so I just improvised all throughout. That was all.

 

FRIDAY

I just focused on taking apart the printing, mostly focusing on taking out the parts that extrude the filament, and that was it. After that, I just assembled the parts for the gear extruder, and that took a while. After that was done, I participated in my lab meeting, and my PI has recently arrived from a conference in Japan and brought some snacks from there while my mentor did her presentation about her project. Then I chatted up with my lab mates, and wrapped up this week.
