Louisiana, Mississippi, Washington DC & Virginia August 2013

It was a fun trip visiting family in the South, then attending BYU opening football game. Not so fun when after the first quarter all had to exit stadium for lightening storm that turned into two hour delay. May have been worth it but BYU lost in the final two minutes.

Bradley understood donations are the lifeblood of research so scrounged up 11 cents.

Presentation by Dr. Cox on discovery of BMAA environmental toxin cause for ALS, Alzheimer, etc.

Amazing how much important research happens in this small lab.
