... tsssssssssssss
(imagine, if you will, the sound of a lit match dropped into water.)
Yeah, spending a day in a room taking notes while people discuss the finer points of critical low gravity immunology issues can get a bit heady. I learned some new words (hematapoeitic, for one) and typed so fast my little fingertips are sore.
The hematologist, as many of you probably guessed, was the thorn in everyone's side. She came in with a grudge, though; she's pissed that the hematapoeitic effects of low gravity have been shuffled around between radiation and immunology when, really, they should be their own separate risk factor to be researched under the Critical Path Roadmap. I mean, really!
hi there. *wave* did i happen to mention that i was a music major?
At the end of the day, though, despite the oddly contentious atmosphere of immunologists creating risk factors for the office of the chief health medical officer to address, when they started talking about what little bugs we humans might bring with us when we land on Mars and how they might affect life there (if the probes already haven't introduced some, despite possible decontamination on the heat of entry), I have to unfizz my brain long enough to sit back for a second and think holy cow, my job is cool.
Back at it tomorrow, when we actually generate a report from the discussion and notes I took today. Hah! good luck!

I'm becoming a bit concerned with NASA's obsession with cartoon characters from my youth...

Does NASA have a Minnesota branch? There is nothing "heady" about my office. When a vice president said "there's more there than meets the common denominator" he wasn't making a brilliant, obscure math reference. And when a senior vice president said "you can't tie all your apples on one person", he wasn't talking about horticulture. He was talking about construction market strategy. (Nobody knows what the first guy was talking about.)

If NASA does open in minnesota, you could be the hematopoeitic in residence!
