Hide the poker chips, the boss is coming

This has been a frantic week, mainly due to HESTEC. I've blogged a bit about one of my major commitments, working with our visiting REU mentor and HESTEC speaker François Therrien. (Who, it must be said, rocks.)

And it's not over yet. In some ways, the most frantic and stressful part of the week is tomorrow, when we get a visit from Dr. Arden Bement, who is the director -- that is to say, the big boss man -- of the National Science Foundation. That is, the organization paying for my REU program and some of my Marmorkrebs research.

Gonna have to find a clean shirt to wear tomorrow.
