This morning I did some more work on Blender; it’s a bit harder to use the software than I expected, so I think I’m going to watch some videos on it this afternoon since we have more time. After having some free time to do work this morning, we had a meeting about conferences, and learned how to get funding and what different types of conferences are like. Some conferences change location from year to year (US vs outside of the US), and apparently one year researchers at ISU went to a conference in Tokyo!

For the lunch and learn Dr. Carmen Gomez came in and spoke to us about her research on making improved sensors to ensure high food quality to reduce food waste. She also told us a little bit about the process of getting a PhD.

Until next time 🙂
