Glitz and Glam

Thursday was pretty cool for one very simple reason: we are going to get a bit of local media coverage for our project. Thanks to a very helpful fraternity friend, we got in contact with the Spartanburg Herald-Journal. They sent out a staff report and photographer to talk to us about what we were doing. The interview went pretty well from my standpoint. We talked about everything from the project's inception, how we went about getting approval for the project, what we were doing scientifically, and what we expected as results.

It was rather fun for me because I got to show both of the folks from the paper exactly what we do each day. Some of the tests are pretty interesting in their method, and I think that they were a bit surprised at the scope of the experimentation. Of course I haven't spent time here describing what Stephyn and I do each day in the lab. Perhaps that will have to be put on priority for later.

In any case, the folks from SHJ said that the story will run a week from next Tuesday. Look for it in the paper or on goupstate.com.
