Clinical project dead; Now mother of 40

After creating a database for the project and spending 3 mornings at the doctors office pouring through patient records (30+ visits kept literally on large sized index cards taped together), we have concluded that this is an exciting idea, but non-Spanish speaking non-doctors cannot get reliable data on asthma from patient records written in illegible Spanish by a private physician in the 1960's - 90's, especially since the word "asma" was never used in order to prevent traumatizing the family.

So, instead I'll be spending many hours a day feeding baby formula to 40 newborn mice (tag-teaming with the resident veterinarian) in order to determine the length of breast-feeding needed for a protective effect against RSV. This is an important question, and it will give me lots of experience with mice, so I think that's enough to keep me going for the summer.
