Day 4

I enjoyed today the most so far. It was nice to finally get a chance to sink my mind into some of the basic particle physics we've been alluding to. I do agree with the others, that in the future, it might be useful to conduct the "particle adventure," or something similar, closer to the beginning of the workshop.

I also really enjoyed my revisit to mass spectrometry. I had taken a similar tour several years ago in chemistry 112, but didn't really understand it at all. This time around, much more of it made sense.
