Even more emphasis on the "M"

The other day I mentioned how I was getting back in touch with people on a number of different things. One of those was reconnecting with the Communications department again this quarter to introduce another undergraduate class to the technology and research in the MVRL lab (if you recall, we presented on eye tracking in fall quarter to an undergraduate communications class). Since MVRL is gearing up for their big trip out west to do this year's major data collect, I was slated to give the presentation this time (and we would have to unfortunately miss out of the live demo part, since everything was getting packed up). Well, unfortunately this was scheduled for January 31 - and if you have been following my blog at all, you'll know that there was no way I'd be able to make good on my promise to present. Luckily, I was given permission by all the parties involved to share the Powerpoint and some example videos with the class's professor (which I still managed to do when I was out of the office), so that there could still be some kind of presentation made to the class. Today I heard back from the professor and apparently everything went really well! This collaboration has been beneficial because not only have more students heard about opportunities in Imaging Science, but the professor herself has now submitted a research proposal in collaboration with MVRL! It is great to be forming so many cross-campus connections.
