IDL > MATLAB 7. . .Plus flowing liquid on Mars in Last 5 years!

Yesterday, Kayla and I went to another research meeting. Prof. Hester helped us create accounts and showed us some features with IDL. He also said that we could purchase the student version of IDL on their site. The version is $90 and he said that we could give him our receipts and that he could figure out a way to get us reimbursed.

Kayla and I also went to the SES 101 review for the final. It was very helpful. I also brought my laptop and found out just in time that their was a conference on the NASA channel about recent water flowing on Mars. I quickly found a link that provided streaming video of the NASA channel and Kayla and I watched it. It was very exciting and we saw our teacher, Dr. Christensen talk among others about the findings on Mars.
