Week 2: Data Collecting and Research Cruise

Submitted by Allison on July 2, 2010 - 3:45pm
This week went by so quickly. I can’t believe that I have already completed two weeks of my internship. This week, I took a lot of pictures of my MnO2 samples under a microscope. I also synthesized data that I collected from my samples and made a lot of graphs using Igor. However, it was difficult to understand what the data I collected actually meant because the trends were not very clear. I also started to use a new recipe to create sample with other chemicals. I used PVDF, acetylene black, and MPN, as well as MnO2 particles.
 

On Wednesday I went on a research cruise in Ilwaco, WA. It was really fun to be on a boat all day and learn about water sampling. Next week I am hoping to find the best method for obtaining MnO2 samples.
