day 1-Kolb's Learning Styles

 Choosing from Kolb’s learning styles I’d say that I am a converger reaching out in equal parts to assimilator and accommodator.  I prefer to do, but can be, as needed, concrete or introspective. 

Considering the Scientific Method, I think the part to give me the most trouble would be the reporting/communication part.  Experimentation intrigues me; in a recent workshop I used some simple equipment with high-powered software to validate an important physics concept.  The mathematical manipulations of the data required thinking outside the box to take advantage of the power of software.  It all made sense to me; I struggled sharing it with some of my colleagues.  Those with strong math skills understood it, those without remained in the dark, despite my best efforts.
