Stuff That I Did

Kazan 2015

I went to Kazan in September 2015 to do a two week experimental physics course. The experiments were all optics and nuclear physics based, which were two of my least favourite areas, but after the two weeks I understood them much better and have a much better appreciation for them now. We did 11 lab reports in 10 days, which was pretty tough, but I definitely think it paid off.
