Side Notes

At this point in my research I will be focusing on water and soil quality. To do this I need to buy standards from NIST for water and soil so that I can calibrate the machine to analyze things other than toys. I as well still need to call Scott Kellogg of the Raddix Center to assist him in analyzing water or soil quality for Albany, NY. Below are a list of websites that have helped me in research.

My current tasks are to:

1. Purchase water and soil standards
2. Begin full analysis on Siena College's water and soil
3. Contact Scott Kellogg and assist in projects
4. Write a report on my findings

My research is finally starting to take shape. Last week was about reconnaissance and next week will be about implementing the steps I need to begin analyzing data.
