Day 16-Forming our groups

Today, we officially divided into our poster/project groups. Dr. Ozkan helped us to finalize our teams as well as our researcher whom would help us with the details of our project. We have decided to work with Daniel Barr, a graduate student of Arjan van der Vaart. He has been a big help to us thus far in taking the research done in the center and translating it into a form of information which we could understand. I am excited but also a little nervous because our posters are due a week from today and we are still struggling to come up with a hook to bring in our students and show them the ties between math and research science. In addition, what I am really hoping to take out of this project is the knowledge of all that is left to discover in the field of science. So many students are discouraged by the field of science because they do not realize how much is left to be discovered. This program has shown me how much is available for our students to contribute to the world of science.
