Yesterday was a little busier than normal. In the morning I gave a research talk, “Text analysis with Iterative Denoising,” at the spring meeting of the International Biometric Society, Eastern North American Region.
The conference was in Arlington, Virginia and my hotel was overlooking the Reagan National Airport. In the photo below (taken on a cloudy morning), you can see some of the airport structures, and just above the horizon you can see a plane taking off.
Immediately after presenting I rushed to Baltimore for a research meeting. I was interested to see some of the changes to campus since the last time I was there. This building below, just south of Garland Hall, is completely new, and serves as the university’s new visitor center. That whole area used to be a gravel parking lot where I parked when on campus. Below the field is a new 600 car underground parking garage.
After my meeting, it was back to Richmond, and grading papers and preparing lectures awaited my return.
