Aside from research, I was (and still am) a barista at the local coffee shop.

Standard hub for any
Town that
Admits college students.
Roasted dark or mild,
Brewed how the customer desires.
Unsurpassed quality of
Coffee and service, along with a bean
Knowledgeable
Staff.

Well, I did research in Boston. Here is a summary:

My Summer with Physics was
A whirlwind, a gun shot into the black. I
Kept my project close, like
Every mother bird nurtures its helpless young.

In spite of the challenges, the Project soon flew.
Though it had a life, I was its strength.

When it seems as if the work is done
Only then have you reached the half-way point.
Reading the answer, it appears seamless, but
Kick it, and gaping unknowns will inevitably surface.

Didn't this code compile yesterday?
Error free and a breeze
But now I get this message on my screen
Unhandled exception and publish fail
Give me a break! I didn't change a thing
Go back to my code and - oh....
I should probably comment out this line I added as a test
Nevermind.
Google, your help is not needed here today.

How can I describe in a few short words
An experience tailored to crazy Sun nerds?
REU up in Cambridge, Mass
Vastly more fun than taking a class
A ten-week experience that was quite filled
Really cool people, with whom I chilled
Darn, broken rhyme - must switch to haiku!
-
Solar wind streaming
Modeled by San Diegans;
Is it true to life?
This we can compare
Have data from SOHO! The
Solar corona.
Only problem is,
Not a two-fluid model.
Is temp p's or e's?
And the summer is over but questions do remain
Now I have an abstract, with much still to gain!
