Investigation:
In the medical field, we are truly living the future. The fear of dying is less felt in hospitals compared to being on a waiting list for a good-willed person to donate an organ versus the new scientifically grown organs engineered to act exactly as our natural organs. So far, there is artificial skin and cartilage, synthetic windpipes, artificial blood vessels, and bladders as well. The only problem is that in order for larger and more complex organs (like the heart, muscles, and tissues) to function perfectly is that they have to "feel" the environment. For example, grow and perform in the right blood ph, temperature, and cells and bacteria. Well, at least the common, artificial organs we have today are working perfectly, a bladder has already lasted for more than a decade on a past patient.

An Encounter Story:
It was a Saturday morning, while I was having breakfast in bed and flipping through the channels, I happened to stop at something that caught my attention. It was a childish cartoon series that obviously doesn't have so much viewer since it was on a Saturday morning! They were bacteria (who were villains) who reproduced quickly to try and destroy the environment that the Anti-Virus superheroes try to protect. They start out as human beings and suddenly morph into bacteria, viruses, pathogens and probably more. I normally do not watch any type of cartoons but I must say, I hope this cartoon series is still around for my future children because it showed so many information (for young children) to learn at such ages!!! 

An Encounter Story :

It was a pretty unusual experience in Microbiology today. We were learning about bacteria and the different types of motility they have to move around. While listening to the professor, I turned my attention over to a little bug on the empty chair in front of me. I told my cousin (who is in the same class as I am) to look at it, to see what it was up to. Turns out, that it was on a girl's scarf at first then a couple minutes passed and somehow traveled to the next empty chair that had her purse on it. Immediately, my cousin and I looked at each other and joked about how the bug was an example of a bacterium jumping from host to host! Perhaps the little bug was attracted to the texture of her scarf and wanted to use it as its sleeping bed. Everything that our professor was lecturing, suddenly came to life! Just as every Bacteria has a specific way of motility and preference to which host it will stick to, the little bug seemed to not like the girls' purse. It was a lucky day to just randomly experience a real- life experience!
