Week 6: Taking a step back

This week has been mostly reviewing the data I have and presenting them at two presentations- in the group meeting and in the CMOP midterm presentation.

After more and more analysis of data, I have been increasingly convinced that detecting non-oxidized nZVI is easily achievable/achieved.  However, I am concerned that identifying amount of nZVI present or the oxidative state of nZVI is becoming extremely complicated. Foremost reason why this is becoming difficult is because the phase shift is sensitive to changes in background electrolytes, such as carboxymethyl cellulose and various types of salt.

This is a picture of pika from the trip to dam that happened last week.
I want one.
