Week 9: 5/27 - 6/2

This week, we edited the entirety of the blog to provide additional information and clarity. We continued working on the final presentation and the test results/discussion section of the final report. We might redo the therapeutic release rate test with HCl instead of lemon juice and with much more than 15 beads per environment (maybe 40-50 each). For the video, we will also show the beads before they are submerged into the solutions to reassure that the beads are similar in size and dye concentration before the tests.
