Team WRG,
This is a bit early, but I want to find a date that will work for everyone to celebrate REU Tom Simon's Kickass Summer with WRG. In true WRG fashion, it seems a burger and (root)beer from Mugshots is a fine idea.
Tom has put up with a very hectic summer in the WRG lab, and taken everything in stride. After just a few demonstrations and trial runs, he mastered matrix preparation, DMA, DSC, and rheology of TGDDM-DDS systems. He's a definite future WRG recruit if we can convince him to come to Southern Miss. I can think of no better way to convince him than a dinner with Southern Miss' Finest.
He will be heading back to the land of cornfields (Indiana) on August 1st. It seems July 31st (two weeks from today) would be an appropriate time to hang out with Tom over some delicious beef patties and fries. Let me know if there are any issues.
Until next time, science on, and science hard.
