Today is complicated for me to describe how intrigued I was by Dr. Rome’s lecture on Nanomedicine. Realizing the possibilities in the near future is something my mind thrives on. Medical procedures, and their futures have always interested me, and have fueled me to work extraordinarily hard in high school, in order to have a successful career as Plastic Surgeon. Thinking about the possibilities of nanotechnology related to my career interest is something I cannot take my mind off. Learning about the Vaults, and how useful they could be to cancer patients and many others, is something anyone with a sane mind would be interested in. I look forward to doing research regarding this topic, during my years in college. Medical science with a technology twist, is the food my mind feeds off of. Researching and learning about present and future treatments is something I am crazy about. Science has always been the class I most look forward to during the school day.
Earlier in the day, I was fascinated about the LUCAS technology developing in the Engineering Department. This complex yet small system, will be ideal for doctors in developing countries who don’t have access to a hospital. Blood testing has never been possible in such portability especially in cell phone format. When I looked at the LUCAS hardware, I couldn’t help but noticed it hooked up through USB. The first thought that entered my biased Apple, and Steve Jobs like mind was iPhone App possibilities! Apple as well as the medical treatment will always continue to advance, become smaller, and last, but not least, become cheaper. Devices like the LUCAS, and iPhone 3G S are living proof of this theory. What I learned today, will stick with me for the rest of my life, and I hope to use the knowledge I learned today, to help me with my passion for science and medical advances.
