I had a guest speaker yesterday finishing her PhD in neuroscience. She will have Brown printed on her diploma. She was growing rat neurons to inject into plants to improve photosynthesis or something like that. I probably got that wrong. Anyway, it sounds like you want to be a physician more...

@Gnarlygoat27 that covered a lot of my visit and looks like info from a travel brochure. Nice post.

I'd pack a parachute but that's just me.
