Our class has been selected to do a science project sponsored by Medtronic. Laura was our mentor for the project. She's biomedical engineer. She works in the r and d -research and devolpment unit in medtronic. She makes stents to cure arteriosclerois. Arteriosclerois is a disease where plaque builds up in your arteries. Stents are like balloons. They look like springs. On the next visit we will disect a cow's heart. We also might do some surgery on Keyhole Ken. Keyhole Ken is a model of a human body made of papier masche and newspaper. In June there will be a night in a hotel where we'll present our project.
