- The bioengineering honors society Outstanding Faculty Award for 2008(!)

- A collection of fine sodas (as my addiction is plain for all to see)

- A giant stack of projects to grade. Crazy good work this year, in part because I believe our curriculum is doing a better job building upon knowledge gained in previous or concurrent courses (damn hard work was also a factor). Crowd pleasers include: the diffusive dynamics of nasal cocaine administration and several projects comparing various implantable birth control devices.

Hey, congrats on the award! It's HARD to teach well.

...medical cocaine is a thick green liquid that sort of looks, smells, and pours like mouthwash. (So if you ever need an excuse when you get pulled over...)

I am totally going to buy green instead of blue mouthwash from now on.

Would that be implantable in MEN? Or just women?

Yay for your award! I don't know if you can share the research, but I'd be interested in knowing the conclusions of the birth control papers.

The dosage charts advertised by the companies are at least physically reasonable.

Congrats to you! I guess it is better to be loved than feared.

Also, add me to the list of people who are curious about implantable birth control papers.

Well, there's the little cylinder they put under the skin of the arm, or the ring which is inserted vaginally. I believe the former lasts a few months, while the latter is removed after three weeks with one week "off" before insertion of a new device.
