Whisker Synthesis!

Article Title: Nanotube whiskers could aid robot-human interaction

Carbon is a brilliant element. Structured perfectly, it can create incredibly tough material with no sacrifice to weight. Engineers have developed a carbon nano tube sensor that mimics the whiskers of catskys. "The whiskers picked up pressures less than one-tenth as high as previous designs could detect." This has many applications in surgical robots!

Blog 11: Mentorship 10 Hours Check

Where are you doing your mentorship?
First at North Broadway Medical Clinic, but currently at AEON Medical Equipment & Supplies, Inc. (with same mentor)


Who is your contact?
Dr. Francisco B. Fuscaldo, MD


How many total hours have you done?
As of the 9th of January, 2013: 21 Hours.


Summarize the 10 hours of service you did.
My mentor has been showing me a lot about the field of medicine. He talks about the tools he uses as well as the methods he uses such as how to talk to patients, how important it is to know your patient, etc. Every time I meet him, it seems like there is more to learn. (The mix of massive amounts of information as well as the broad field does give off that effect!)

Senior Project, The Holiday

It is important to consistently work on your senior project, whether it is break or we are in school. What did you over the break with your senior project?

1. The main thing I did was more research. I want to change my EQ from rabies to have more options. The heart is interesting. So is the cardiovascular system. Maybe how to solve chest pains?

What was the most important thing you learned from what you did and why?  What was the source of what you learned?

1. I learned that focussing on something too specific is ambitious, but not good in the long run. I'm specifically talking about my current EQ.  I need to change it. Body pains! But not with anaesthesia!

If you were going to do a 10 question interview on questions related to answers of your EQ, who would you talk to and why?

1. My mentor and probably other people (doctors?) if I can. My mentor is knowledgeable in this area and I would like to hear his take on it. But to have a better idea, I will aim to ask more experts. Be it a doctor or not. Perhaps someone who deals with chest pains!
