I was not able to get any real work done this weekend, but I went to a friends house and his family, another guest, and I ( Read more... )

I have been working on understanding X-ray crystallography for a paper that I will be a third author on, if it is published. Crystallography is some interesting but complicated stuff. I have put a lot of my thesis writing on hold so as ti read up on this material. However, it is likely that I will be able to use this as another chapter of my thesis ( Read more... )

I have one student come to it who is my student from last section. His current T.A. told him that he was one of the special T.A.s who don't have office hours (FYI all T.A.s this session have office hours). Yeah, ( Read more... )
