Well today was an excellent example of a standard day at uni. I say that based on the range of activities and the fact that one after another I had a random task run into another. Let me explain by way of example.
I started off my day by meeting with a student who will be doing a term project in our lab over the next couple months. The student's work is driven by my current research interests so we'll work together closely and I will act as the primary point of contact within our group.
Next I worked on some programming to troubleshoot my latest iteration of hardware/electronics that are part of an instrument I am developing. Specifically I was working on SPI communication between components on a circuit board I recently had made. I was even able to bring in our School's electronics technician to give me some much needed advice.
Later in the afternoon I had to head down to the Pipitea campus (located in downtown Wellington) for another meeting (which was unrelated to research).
Finally I concluded my day by attending an Inaugural Lecture from a recently appointed Professor of Comparative Politics. Certainly not a subject I am usually exposed to, but interesting none the less.
