Visiting the U of R

Today we went to the U of R to see what their interns were up to. Their program is more based on biomedical areas rather than imaging. They deal with the body at the systems, cellular, and molecular levels, meaning that they cover every level of the body. It was a lot of fun to see what they were doing and see some really interesting things, such as seeing a live mouse being dissected for research to be conducted on its brain. Many of their projects include research on a smaller level right now that will hopefully be expanded into full human usage.

Before we went we had a funny discussion about how everybody's prom was worse than anybody else's. However, I think Jane takes the cake with only 20 people showing up!! Wow! After we got from the trip we headed back to the labs to get back to work. We coded for the rest of the time :P It wasn't that bad though because we took a break to calibrate our tapes... finally! But other than that it was straight coding for the rest of the day. Hopefully we will be able to take some more pilot tapes tomorrow for our experiments... which will be much more fun :)

Keep it classy,
Matt
