 ==== Photo of the Week ====

+This is a picture with my mentor and boss at the Summer Research Symposium that UNR. This was my first poster presentation and overall it was a positive experience. There were 70 posters in total and it was nice seeing the research going on at the university throughout these 10 weeks. I was also surprised with the attendance from people of the community as they came over to see the work that UNR is doing. One thing I got good at was explaining technical terms to a non technical audience and I think tutoring also helped with this skill.

 ==== Weekly Progress/ Next Week Plans ====
-This week was spent making the final changes on the poster and finishing up the final paper deliverable. Overall it was good experience getting practice with Latex and I realized all the work that goes into making a poster. The goal of the REU is to try to publish a paper and my mentor will analyze which conferences it is eligible for or he might incorporate it in one of his papers. This week was also the time of good byes as everyone left on Saturday. I kept in touch with everyone through slack and hope to keep that network in the future to ask about graduate school.

Documentation was also a large part of this week as I wrote down all of the commands to run the code along with a copy of the code to upload to a github repository.

 ==== What I Learned about Myself ====
-I learned that I am an effective team member and learn more in a team than working individually. Throughout this experience, I was working on a subject that my mentor is writing his dissertation on (socially aware navigation). This helped as he could answer any questions I had about the subject, and I was helping advancing the project by a bit.

 ==== New Person That I Met ====
 This week I met Analisa, she was another UNR student working in the lab. She was a neuroscience student that focuses on Human Robot Interaction studies. This is a field of research that I did not know existed, yet she explained the background behind it. I got invited to participate in an EEG study that she was hosting which hooks up a cap full of electrodes on your head; and as certain images appeared on the screen, one's brain would react differently. They were trying to find a pattern among the image and the brain waves that were recorded throughout the experiment.
