2016 Year In Review
2016 hasn’t been the best year to the world. But between finishing the first year of my Ph.D., living in the Pacific Northwest this summer, and passing qualifying exams, I tried to make the most of the tumultuous year.
Things I think about, read, and write.
2016 hasn’t been the best year to the world. But between finishing the first year of my Ph.D., living in the Pacific Northwest this summer, and passing qualifying exams, I tried to make the most of the tumultuous year.
I spent my summer working at Pacific Northwest National Lab, but also made some time to get outside and explore more of the west coast. My trips included a few hikes, Los Angeles for my birthday, Portland, Seattle, the B Reactor, LIGO, and KDD 2016 in San Francisco.
This summer I’ll be an NSIP Ph.D. intern at Pacific Northwest National Lab working in the Data Sciences & Analytics (DSA) group.
As my first year of graduate school comes to a close, I spent some time reflecting on my experiences over the past year.
How I started a daily journal to document every day of my graduate career and why I think journaling in general is a good idea.
