Today was a frustrating day as far as technology goes. We had a great time nonetheless. We started off the morning working with motors that would move the ultrasound scan, one of which was broken. Then, the program wouldn't work (which Maria had predicted). I still enjoyed all of this since I was able to see first hand how to go about trying to fix it. After lunch, however, the oscilloscope (an expensive machine) wouldn't turn on. I worried about it all day because it happened when I was there! I am hoping there is nothing I did to cause it to not turn on.
Soon we went to work on a fun lab involving spectroscopy. This was awesome. We saw the light broken down into its components which was really cool. However, we struggled with a computer for hours and had the whole imaging science staff making suggestions. I was still enjoying all of this thoroughly. My poor advisor was worn out and we called it a day. I had fun today however, it was not productive but it wasn't our fault so we had a lot of laughs in the process. Better luck tomorrow.
