Summer 2009 Contributions
This semester I was a member of the Floating Flocs Team. At the beginning of the summer, I helped to install the new parts to our apparatus and to debug Process Controller. Besides attending team meetings, at which I was part of making plans, setting up experiments, and analyzing data from experiments, I spent extra time editing our Wiki pages to try to keep them accurate and easy to read.
