Well, I'm back from Houston, and boy was it muggy. Actually it was a welcome relief from the dry heat of Arizona. I learned to use a microtome, which is a really cool machine that cuts extremely thin slices. It could easily cut a piece of paper into ten thinner pieces (but not full size pages of course)! Now I get to order all this equipment to do my own microtomy with a machine that they have here at ASU. I love spending other people's money!
