This woman went through so much with her cancer, and she's amazingly upbeat. She is totally aware of the value of her mother, her caregiver, had on her recovery. This is a cool story -- of course we think of parents as caregivers at the beginning of life, but in the second half of life we assume that the child is the caregiver -- and this story reverses the expectation!

The last two days have been incredibly inspiring. The cross-discipline work of engineers, md's, psychiatrists and developers is astounding. Their work is far reaching and could effect our society in so many positive ways.

I even saw a presentation by Eric Lander, one of the principal investigators on the Human Genome project. Yeah, my brain was about to explode.

Basically, I spent the better part of the two days wishing I had pursued science in school, or at least not written myself off purely as a liberal arts chick. bah!
