Brains brains brains

Today I got to see a brain for the first time. My favorite parts so far include the cerebellum (it's beautiful), the cerebral aqueduct (who knew we have an ecological landmark in the middle of our brain?!), and the circle of willis. The brain has a lot of cool terminology like that, which I think makes it fun to learn, plus the brain is FASCINATING. In the evening I helped with H1N1 vaccinations on campus, I am very confident in my vaccination skills after 3 hours of straight vaccinating. After 12 hours on campus, I am very fortunate that caffeine crosses the blood-brain barrier, can't wait for the 3-day weekend!
