Hello, I’m Taylor Holmes. This was my last week in Salt Lake City, Interning for the Department of Environmental Engineering and Energy and Geoscience at the University of Utah before I headed back home to Telluride, Colorado. Unfortunately, her trip to Roosevelt Hot Springs couldn’t happen this week because we did not have the LI-COR and other problems. So instead, I spent this week mostly trying to get the Picarro and the anemometer working together through the picarro’s database. This has been a problem for quite some time, but we narrowed down the issue to the programming of the picarro. Hopefully, this makes the problem easier to fix in the future and makes it easier to use the anemometer and picarro simultaneously. In the time I wasn’t working on that, I 3D printed some more with the help of the people in the 3D printing department. To end the week, I spent Thursday and Friday doing the soil temperature thermometer test with the new thermometers we got last week.
On Friday, I said goodbye to everyone I worked with over the last five weeks and thanked them for such a great experience. I had so much fun at the University of Utah, getting to know everyone and getting to know science a little better. Working with college-level students as high schoolers was terrific, and trying to meet the expectations of an undergraduate student. And, of course, a big thank you to pinhead for such a great opportunity.
