July 22, 2009 — So today is the research poster presentation session. This goes on from 2:00-4:00 in CE 450 if you would care to join us. I’ll hopefully be taking some video of the event so you all can see what everyone has done for the past six weeks. I’ll go ahead and post another blog of what I saw and some other programs that are offered through IUPUI. Full story

I work with certain biological processes that hopefully are not being studied by someone else. We do this to write papers, get grant money, and do it all over again. We’re always trying to further our knowledge of our world around us, and I like to think I’m helping in the smallest way possible. But those smallest ways lead to the medicines that save people or make their lives better in some way. Full story
