This week was productive and saw me shake off the sleep from my summer holidays. In addition to my research contributions over the past few days, I have also been working on the logistics for a pair of trips. First is a conference next month where I will be presenting a talk on our new hardware/methodologies. Second is a month long overseas trip to a lab in the U.S. I've mentioned this trip in the past, but have also avoided going into too much detail as I didn't consider this a "sure thing" until my airfare was booked.
While producing a thesis in the next couple months is certainly a drive force, these two trips will serve as small checkpoints. For the conference next month I'll present the data I collected last month and the work I hope to complete with my new sample next week. The journey overseas requires me to get my new designs to the machine shop and into production.
Seeing these trips mature over the past week I am even more pleased with my lab work from this week as I know I am working towards these milestones.
