I'm really bad with the days and since my last post was the end of week one we'll just call this the end of week two because it has been a while.....
So in the last few days to be honest, not much has been done in the lab. My "advisor" Tiffany Tong went to her hometown Milwaukee for her high-school reunion and my PI is in Nigeria getting funding for his research. So for the past few days, (friday included) I have just been mixing solutions in preparation for creating my actual lab samples on Thursday. Everything is really expensive so I can't treat it like mixing gatorade in water and go for saturation; I have to be extra conscious to dilute all my practice runs by a factor of 10^-1 or 10^-2 before spin coating it on the glass slides.
Seems like tomorrow is a big day for me because I will be attending a SEM training session bright and early tomorrow morning (9:30 pm) and probably working until 7pm tomorrow night. After the class, I have to finish making P3HT:PCBM:Ti02 active layers on glass slides, meet with my PI to finalize project details and meet with my adviser to coordinate schedules for the coming weeks. I doubt I will be able to play for Peddie in the Summer League tomorrow and that hurts, but there are more to come.
