Today I mainly was just dipping my toes in the water. I met Joe, the post doctoral student I will be helping, as well as some of the technicians that will be helping us. I did some basic programming in the free version of matlab to try to get a little experience. I was introduced to all of the equipment that we will be using and the plans of what we will use the equipment for. I also received some background reading that I started to work on and will continue to work on. I am looking forward to tomorrow. — Iain
