Protecting Your Eyes so that You can keep on Mapping

After getting lasik surgery about six years ago, I saw the light and realized that I needed to be more careful on my second go around at protecting my eyes. That day I went out and bought the best pair of UV protection designer sun glasses money could buy, at least money that added up to $320.

That was 6 years ago and the sun glasses lasted a long time, but I am older and wiser. These days I would look to our new sponsor CTS Wholesale Sunglasses. They provide Wholesale Fashion & Sports Sunglasses. I am not talking about some ad saying that the price is wholesale, but it really looks like a normal price. I am talking about buying a case of designer sunglasses for the price of a single pair!

See for yourself by looking at these Wholesale Fashion Sunglasses. Some of these sunglasses are less than a dollar a pair. For that kind of money I could have purchased 350 pairs of sun glasses and worn a different pair of sun glasses every week for the last 7 years!

Now I am not suggesting that you should be excessive. There is a practical aspect to this. My wife always loses her sun glasses and she usually does it when we are on the road. So she ends up spending $10-$20 for glasses at a gas station or mall to get through the trip. For $25 she could buy a dozen sun glasses and keep 3-4 pairs in the car readily available for her, any guests we have riding with us or even the kids.

My eyes steadily got worse over the years until I had lasik. Now they are holding their own and its partly because I protect my eyes. You can do the same, but it does not have to cost you a fortune.

Researchers awarded $75k fund for Infectious disease fighting Swarmbots

Keck Futures Initiative Announces Grant Recipients; $1 Million Awarded for 14 Research Projects: “KAM LEONG and LINGCHONG YOU, Duke University, Durham, N.C.
Engineering ‘Microbial Swarmbots’ for Medical Applications - $75,000
These researchers will engineer microbial swarmbots as a platform technology for delivery of bioactive agents to combat infectious diseases. A microbial swarmbot is a small population of bacterial cells that are autonomously regulated by synthetic gene circuits and are encapsulated in microcapsules built from synthetic or natural polymers.”

Lingchong You’s research focuses on a strategy of promoting cell to cell communication. His goal is that he will be able to promote hte natural quorum communication potential in cell’s and combine this with “cell killing” traits. The purpose is to reduce variability such that the cells will perform as intended as a group.

Kam Leong came from John Hopkins to the Pratt School of Engineering to lead the nanomedicine initiative. Kam Leong has a long history in working with biodegradable polymers intended to deliver medicines or agents to targeted locations in a system.
