Alrighty then, today I spent time calculating/looking up more galaxy frequencies and wavelengths. I have all the radio data frequencies, which apparently is not the same as the wavelengths. So, I had to figure out the wavelength based on the frequency. It basically was an equation and some unit conversions.
Today I also worked on my poster a bit. I pretty much know what I'm going to do for it. I figure I'll give some background about my work, explain what I've done, describe the purpose of my work, and how I accomplished my tasks, plus acknowledgments etc. I think I'm going to pick one galaxy and have pictures of it at 3 wavelengths. Then I'll have another image with the 3 images layered on top of each other so whoever is looking at the poster can see where the wavelengths come together.
We also watched the undergrads practice their presentations for the undergrad symposium which is tomorrow. They came out well and it was cool to actually understand(somewhat) the thing that they talked about and referred to.
Today I also volunteered in the visual perception lab. The interns up there are running their own study. They had me look at where's waldo pictures and try to find waldo. Not a bad way to spend a half hour. They also had a lego experiment where i had to find certain lego pieces in the image. It was cool to see them running their own types of experiments.
meeting time!
