Training week concluded last Friday, June 26 with a pizza lunch. Students have had many opportunities to get to know one another, especially during the afternoon training sessions. The microscopes are usually in small rooms, which makes the learning experience a true group effort. In the morning, participants listened to lectures about lab safety, how to more efficiently go about doing article and database research from PSU's engineering librarian, and about the industry from a microscopist who works at Intel. These lectures complimented presentations from Dr. Jiao, Dr. Sanchez, and Micah Eastman about the SEM and FIB.
This week, REU students are actively participating in the lab with their faculty mentors. One student is even traveling to northern California next week to do field research. Check back often for updates over the next eight weeks. If you are interested reading more about what REU participants are doing, check the Participants page on the REU website.
Have a great holiday weekend!
