Day 472 of 1000
Christian wrote and submitted an undergraduate research grant proposal earlier this semester. Today, he received notice he had been awarded the grant. He will have to administer the project, do the research, submit progress reports, and submit his results for peer review and publication by the end of the summer. It is a HUGE step in his progression toward a graduate degree. Kids who have performed and published research have a leg up when applying to graduate schools. I will post more about his research work as it moves along. He will design and build a microcomputer controlled black body source for the calibration of spectrophotometers.

Sounds racist 😉 Sorry, bad joke … just had to scratch that PC itch.
Seriously, contratulations Christian! It sounds like a meaniningful research effort. My company utilizes spectrophotometry in developing defensive IR countermeasures for military aircraft.
Congratulations, Christian!! That’s awesome!!
