A Big Day Ahead

Today is a big day.  We are visiting Purdue with Jacob and Jocelyn stayed with NaNa & PawPaw.

Jacob has been interested in pursuing biomedical engineering in college since his project with Dr. Rodefeld on artificial hearts.  That day in April 2011 is when we first heard about Dr. Rodefeld's research.

Today we will investigate Purdue.  Because we were preoccupied most of the month of March, I just looked online about University tours last week.  The regular tours of the university were full, but we still have a full day planned.

First at 1:30pm we will start with a tour of the Biomedical Engineering building.  At 2:30pm we will go to an Engineering Information Session. After that we have a great opportunity to visit Ana Kerlo. Ana is a graduate student that works with Dr. Rodefeld on his research for kids and adults with Fontan circulations.  Ana is from France and her parents are friends with Dr. Fontan.  We don't really know what to expect at her lab, but that makes it exciting!  We have seen a few pictures from Dr. Rodefeld.  He showed us parts of the presentation that he gave in London in early 2011.

So... here we go... but just in case you are wondering... we are still IU fans! :)
