Denmark - Day 5

The lab supplies showed up the day before, so we're off to our first real day of work. We spent our morning troubleshooting an instrument for our Danish hosts. Elizabeth (a graduate student from Duke) and I stayed with them over several hours and helped identify their possible problems. In the end their data turned out better than it ever had (by far, they said), and they were giving each other high-fives. It would normally be a little weird to spend so much time solving someone elses problems, but they're going to take us canoeing tomorrow in return so it seemed like a fair trade. We only had about an hours worth of work to do today anyway, because we had to set up reactions and then wait for them to finish. They should be done on Sunday so we'll head back in then to figure them out. Here is everyone (minus the photographer - me) leaving after a long day.
