The Journey Begins

What's this? David's writing a blog? Yep I am. It's about interesting things that happen in the near future. Feel free to subscribe to it if you want to keep up to date on what I'm doing, it might be somewhat interesting, it might be totally boring, you decide.

What are you doing? Why should I care?

As the title suggests, I'm doing two things. I'm wandering, and I'm doing data science (not totally sure that's a term). 

Wandering: I'm visiting pretty much anywhere I can drive to in my purple truck and find a place to stay (preferably with people I know). If you (yes you) are on the continent of North America and want to see me in the next year, please contact me. I'll put you on the trip list and visit (exact date dependent on where you are in North America).

At each location I visit for more than one day, in addition to seeing friends, I'm hoping to:
1. Visit the public Library
2. Go to a Museum
3. Visit a local coffee shop or bar
4. Bike (if possible)

Data Science: I'm using science to make people's lives better (hopefully)! For now, that means I have an internship at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, Colorado, where I believe I'll be creating an automatic analysis procedure for photoelectron spectrum mapping device studies for perovskite solar cells. Translation: I'm helping study solar cells to make them better.

I'll be updating this blog sporadically with updates on cool places I see and do, people I meet, cool science I do, and maybe even some pictures (if ever I remember to take them). It's gonna be an adventure!
