Today I finished the final draft of my poster. I went through all the text and made a few changes shortening things up, plus I added and revised the results section to emphasize what was actually gained scientifically from my research. Also, with the help of Joe, I increased the pixel count of my images (in photoshop) so that when the poster gets blown up to 3ft by 4ft the images are at the very worst blurry, but not pixelly. Today we also had our weekly meeting with Chris and Steffi, although Steffi wasnt there so just Chris. Things are definitely winding down around here, Jake mentioned a few more things that I could start working on but they will all take longer to complete than the time I have left here so at the most all I can do is devise the method to complete the process and write it down so that someone else can do it later. My first priority, like all the interns, is going to be getting my presentation done, then maybe I can finish up a little more work for Jake before the summer is over. It all seems like it went by so fast!
