dasox24 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jul 29, 2009 -> 10:54 AM) Where in Texas? Bring your fan. It's been hot, when it's not been raining. Houston. I haven't been there yet since they both moved last November, so I'm looking forward to seeing their new place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pods70Rowand33 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 29, 2009 -> 11:27 AM) I melt rocks for a living. I hopefully have a couple post-doc opportunities set up looking at meteorites/mars/asteroids. That sounds pretty cool. What did you major in as an undergrad? Good luck with your defense and post-doc. I'm majoring in Chemistry, and still am undecided what I would like to focus on in grad school. I'm debating between Organic and Physical Chemistry.

FlaSoxxJim Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I've actually travelled more this summer than most, so my big summer ambition actually involves a project at work. I have a 3 m giant squid (Architeuthis dux) in a large formalin bath that I'd like to build an exhibit display for and get on public exhibit by the end of September (it would be 4m + but its two long tentacular club arms are missing). It's going to likely involve a lot of acrylic and metal fabrication work with some custom lighting, and I'm trying to do it on a budget. At the same time, it's a scientifically valuable specimen (only the 27th specimen recorded from southeastern Atlantic waters), so I want to do right by 'Ol Stinky, as he's come to be known. Yeah, I know how to party like a rock star during my summers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
