And we're off...

Yup, this is as stereotypical as it gets: red blood cells imaged with a scanning electron microscope, the one that provides with those nifty 3D pictures which are later colorized. SEM's of course produce only b/w images, but that doesn't stop anyone from splashing some red in there.

The second semester of medical school started Monday, which made for a busy day, since Mondays are for regular classes, the Clinical Practice of Medicine class and associated seminar sessions on alternating weeks for each half of the class. This was my half's week to have the seminar session, so it was a packed day through 4 o'clock. But it was all fascinating, especially that this semester we are learning the ins and outs of the physical exam in the CPM class, and regular class is Hematology. No, we did not notice new students with elongated canine teeth suddenly auditing classes this semester.
