So... my computer is on the fritz. Hence, no recent blog updates. Sorry. There's the apology. I was doing so well there for a while because I made a bunch of posts and scheduled them to publish once a day. Genius!! Right now my monitor will only stay on for 7-15 minutes however which is not long enough to do much of anything. Hopefully we can get it fixed soon but I thought I'd tell you all about something super exciting that I can't believe I haven't posted earlier!!
I know I've already told a few people but I also wanted to write this down for memory's sake. Back in July Justin was invited to give a talk at Agilent, a chemical company in San Jose, CA. Awesome!! I have never heard of a grad student being invited to do anything like this. A woman who is in charge of a research group at this CA location heard about Justin's research which is similar to her own work. Not only did they pay for him to fly out and give a talk but they've offered to help fund some of Justin's research, like sending samples and what-not. Seriously, this is super cool! So Justin flew out on a Tuesday and was supposed to be back the next afternoon but after his talk they asked him if he could stay longer! He must have really impressed them :) He ended up meeting with the guy who oversees the entire San Jose location who said they would be very interested in interviewing Justin for a job as he gets closer to graduating!! Woot!! San Jose is in the Bay Area and if you recall from our first anniversary trip to San Francisco, I love that place!! I'm still excited about this! My husband is amazing!!!! It's good to know that other people recognize this as well :)
Oh and speaking of anniversaries, I never posted about out trip to Lake Tahoe this year. When my monitor gets fixed and I can see the pictures on a screen again I'll be sure to get that one done. Tahoe is gorgeous!!
