Bi-Monthly Journal
This is a bi-monthly updated blog tracking Chase's progress throughout the completion of his project.
Summary of WorkSince the end of January, I have made a ton of progress on my fellows project. On the Admin side, I completed my Fellows Mid-Year Review Presentation! For those not familiar, this was a presentation to a panel of about 9 Severn Faculty (some related to the project, some related to the fellows program, and others completely unfamiliar with both). The presentation covered the three complete phases of my project thus far, as well as my project outlook for phase 4. A copy of the presentation can be seen below. I also finished setting up the lab in the chemical storage room between Mr. DeMarte's room and Mr. Witzel's room. This space will serve as my base of operations for all things fellows through the end of the year. As part of the lab setup, I created a system with Mr. DeMarte and Mr. Witzel of coordinating when I am working in the lab, including a synced google calendar, and a white board writing system. Photos of the lab during setup are pictured below. Mid-year Fellows PresentationLab Setup PhotosHere are some brief photos of my lab setup! Since these pictures, the lab has been stocked with many more chemicals, machines, etc.

SummaryOver the course of January, I did a lot of admin-related stuff for my project. I met with my mentors (Mr. DeMarte and Mr. Witzel) multiple times, discussing my plan moving forward. Mr. DeMarte and I made a plan for cleaning the chemical storage room, so I can use that room for the fellows project. We invited the entire senior class to sign up to help, which will help give seniors service hours and will get the room cleaner, quicker. Plan Looking ForwardLooking forward, the plan for February is to have my lab space entirely cleaned up and set up by my February 11th Fellows Mid-Year presentation. Assuming I am allowed to continue with the fellows program, I will begin actual, in lab research after 2/11.
