Part of the day was spent helping Dave put the finishing touches on his NSF proposal. I think it turned out pretty good. The main focus of the proposal was on weak lensing shear peaks, clusters and filaments. Here's hoping that it gets accepted.
A large part of the day was improving my measurement of the shear peak centers' errors for DLSCL J0916.2+2951.
Another interesting note is that Sophie Maurogordato, whom I mentioned in a arXiv to the Rescue, is interested in applying the method that I developed to constrain the dynamics of cluster mergers to her merging cluster A2163. It is a great feeling to have something you developed be useful to someone else. This is actually the second time I will have applied my method to another cluster (the first was to a high redshift cluster pair that Brian Lemaux has been working on.
