Hello all!

Today started off similar to how yesterday ended, as we redid five tests on the ECMs for accuracy.  I just realized I never actually figured out what “ECM” means, but here’s a picture of what I’m talking about:

After finishing, we went to a biometrics presentation, where they gave us free food (boo-yah) for lunch. The presentation was pretty interesting, especially when he started discussing physiology. I also happened to see my peer, Emily Lane, there as well.

After the presentation, we headed back to start working on placing various filters in plastic containers so they could equilibrate. After blowing them with nitrogen gas, we placed labels and filters in them. However, a 125 take a long time… Almost 3 hours, in fact. Guess what took up the rest of my afternoon?

Here are some pictures of the process:
