This week we had to quickly run experiments for CaSO4 so that we could compare our results to CaCO3 and have a conclusion to complete the abstract and the poster presentation. Time was ticking and it felt like we weren’t going to make it. We pulled through, but it was super rushed. I wish we would have figured out all the kinks a couple of weeks ago that way we could have ran more experiments. My mentor said that this is an ongoing experiment and not to worry too much about not having a solid conclusion, because research is a never-ending cycle and this way the work that I have been a part of will pave the way for the next researcher.

I’ve been in this building a few times and I just noticed that there is a telephone booth!
The last time I remember seeing one being used was by my mom when I was a kid and it brought on a good feeling.
It doesn’t take quarters, and it’s a digital one but it’s still pretty nice to see!
