Committee Meeting #1
I had my first PhD committee meeting this afternoon, and it went reasonably well. I don't know what I was expecting, but having spoken to 3 of the 4 committee members about my project multiple times over the past 5 days, I guess I wasn't exactly expecting to be raked over the coals.
My only real comment is that I should have spent a bit more time practicing my presentation - but who has time for stuff like that? I'm going to try to get the Paired End Tag code working tomorrow, and the paired Eland reader - somehow it's just way more important to do the work than to talk about it, which is it feels like I've been doing lately.
Anyhow, so much for taking the evening off - I just spent the last half hour trying to figure out why someone in Wisconsin can't seem to get my FindPeaks application to work. I don't really get it - I can run my code with his file just fine. Anyhow, another thing to look at tomorrow.
