An Assortment of Things

Well, I have practically finished my research assignment and have found the hubble constant within 20% error. My mentor thought this was astounding that a high school kid, given two weeks, could get such an accurate measure. Given the hubble constant's past, I agree that we live in a strange world; only a few decades ago there was an enormous range in possible values.

Still, despite the name of this blog, I don't only do research here. The program is as much a scientific expedition as an international and social forum. So, in the social side of things, I had the pleasure of meeting with our own Dr. and Mrs. Borrmann and also with Reserve exchange student, Tom Breuer.

In other news, tomorrow I will be heading for Paris for the weekend with some of my new found friends. I will certainly upload photos of my social adventures and the conclusion of my research in the near future. Thanks for reading.
