    1. What you did this week: successes, failures, lessons learned
    This week I continued my research on radiation, especially gamma rays. At the moment I'm not sure exactly what I want to do with my research, which is stressing me out, but I'm interested in continuing with it to see where it leads me. This week we also got to see the results form the Coronal Mass Ejection (expulsions of magma and plasma from the sun's corona) from October 28 which hit Earth's atmosphere on Halloween, October 31. We got to see the beautiful Aurora display and how it turned red (which is extremely rare).

    I also expanded my research on gamma rays and dug a little bit into the part that they take in cancer treatments and how that works. This really interests me and I might continue my research on this specific subject. Hopefully I will be able to surround my project around radiation and cancer research even though it might sound ambitious. I got to learn how gamma rays are used in radiotherapy and in radio oncology to treat cancer. Even thought this week was short and I couldn't find too much information, it really helped me to be able to open me perspective and see other ideas for research and projects. I'm having trouble finding Sweden's and other country's radiation standards.

    2. What you plan to do next week: what, where, with whom
    Next week I plan to continue my research and hopefully get closer to finding what I want to do for my project or at least expand my research that I currently have.

    3. What you need to do this: from me, from others
    I don't think I really need help from anyone unless I can't find something or if I think that anybody has any knowledge about the subject. For now I don't need anything :)
