Wayne and Erika Pfeiler

Since we're done with classes, we've been working on research more now. Erika is doing her first committee meeting and presentation today. What that means is she's showing her PhD committee what research she's done so far, and what she intends to work on next.
I went to a real-time PCR training meeting this morning, and later on I'll be getting ready for my mechanical experiments with strain gages. Strain gages are pretty neat. The simple explaination is they're small rectangles with wires attached that help to measure how much something solid stretches when it is bent.
