My first day in Dr. Weisman’s Lab was a great success! My morning began with a thorough tour of the chemistry lab and my mentor (Vanessa ), gave me greater insight about the instrumentation that I will be utilizing this summer. I had an opportunity to sit down and chat with my awesome PI, and ironed out some minor details regarding my research. Majority of my day consisted of me reading a daily dosage of relevant Nanotechnology research papers and books.
Sounds like what I did yesterday. My mentor Juan was also very helpful and I think the lab tour was very informative.
Good luck the rest of the week. Cheers, Robert
Robert,
Thank you. I am glad to know that we are experiencing some similar task in common. I must have read about 4-5 articles by now. I do wish you the best this week in your lab and in the many weeks to follow.

You will have a new passion for reading. I promise you that!
As you read papers, pay close attention to the abstracts. You will have one due in a few weeks and it will be useful to understand how they flow.
