Postscript: 1 month after biodesign

Final presentations are over.
Desks and lab benches have been cleared.

What's next for 2SSB??

Tze Kiat and Luke are back in the clinics, groomed for Great Things To Come. Justin has a new position with Greatbatch business development. Pearline is back in the lab, figuring out how to apply biodesign principles to molecular engineering projects.

Our 2 projects (sleep apnea and laparoscopic visualization), are temporarily on hold while we apply for funding. We have identified promising technical collaborators in the local universities, and are optimistic about our chances of success. However, we welcome all generous donations! Please paypal to DAPEARL at gmail =).

During the 'personal reflections' portion of the final night, it was striking that we all thanked each other. Sure, there were many pedagogical moments in class, and during mentor meetings. But we definitely learnt a lot from the team, and not just about biodesign.

Gambatte!
