We did not have a 4 day weekend like our colleagues at Rice but working Fridays after 4th of July isn’t that bad. Most people took a 4 day weekend so there was not much traffic and the building was quiet.
In our weekly meeting with my PI Dr. Chan, she floated the idea of working on a separate project concurrently with my current project. She’s very interested in working with microplastics and due to my previous experience working with them, she would like me to start researching during the time I have left. She has set up a meeting for us with a microplastics expert for Monday to explore this possibility.
