Ladies and gentleman, I came out of my meeting with Dr. Neuro successfully! Goal accomplished!! I will begin my research experience in August!!! I'm pretty damn excited. :) He gave me a tour of the facility and explained a great deal of what it is they do. But there is just so much information I'm not sure I can repeat it all here... What I do know is that his clinical discipline involves studying the mechanics of strokes and epilepsy. Ironic - thats was I was interested in.
When I was touring the lab, I watched one of the assistants do an art line on a rat. How fabulous :) Another aspect of their research involved inducing strokes and global ischemia..... I'll learn more in time. This is making me wonder whether or not I should take neuroscience in the fall instead of the spring. *sigh*.. I think the research and the class will be incredibly beneficial to each other. Might be a good idea. I'll look into it.
So the next step with this is that I'm going to be meeting with him again on monday or tuesday so we can come up with a more detailed idea of exactly what i'll be working on. He has several projects going on so its just a matter of figuring out what will be the most appropriate for me. He is also supposed to be emailing me reading material so I can familiarize myself with his work.
Thats all for now!
