4th of July in Washington, DC is amazing! A couple of age SPS interns and some non-SPS interns living with us found a roof-top bar to view the fireworks from. On the way back to the metro, we came across a neighborhood block party and firework display. Some of the fireworks seemed pretty crazy big to have going off in a residential area; safety concerns aside, they were beautiful!

This week was quite hectic; I barely had any time in the office. Tuesday was quite an exciting day because we toured the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center… and I turned 21! We started off the tour visiting Max’s lab and meeting his mentor. Their project is really interesting. We saw the machinery they use in the detector lab and some samples of detectors they had already engineered. After that, we had another visit with Dr. John Mather who came to talk about what he has been working on lately and was exceptionally curious about what we’re all up to as well.
