Soldering Superstar

Undergraduate student Zach helped us out in the lab this summer. Throughout the summer he finalized the protocol for making standard ice for the ice projects, he broke up and prepped rocks for Heather's fault heating work, he helped me better organize the ice rig room and the machine shop, but where he really kicked butt was at soldering. He was a soldering maniac! He single-handedly did all of the backside connectors.

 And he also got in there with some of the fine-detailed soldering on the individual boards. 

Thanks to Zach's hard work this summer we made incredible progress on several fronts. Thanks, Zach!
