Welcome to the blog site for the Fall16 BIO70 trip to India.
As we spend eleven days traveling to, through, and back from Tamil Nadu, we will share our experience with our friends, family, and supporters in the United States and elsewhere.  Each student will take turns reflecting on the academic experiences, new colleagues, and exciting context during our time in the city of Madurai.

Because of the extraordinary generosity of our host, Aravind Eye Care System, all ten BIO70 students, along with one of our PHD students, are featured presenters at a two-day conference. In addition to these presentations, researchers from the Aravind Medical Research Foundation are slated to present in both lecture and poster form.

Our students will spend time with other researchers and clinicians at Aravind, and visit their labs, hospitals, health centers, manufacturing center, and training centers.  Their schedule also includes visits to some of the temples and ancient sites in the area.

We look forward to posting more about this amazing adventure in the next few weeks!
