Guess What Saved Whiskey?

A biomedical engineered jaw! Here's the actual article:

But for those that don't want to read this insanely short article, it's about a dog named Whiskey (hence the title) that had cancer in his jaw. Instead of just taking the part of the jaw out and leaving poor Whiskey unable to chew on things, UC Davis' Biomedical Engineering department made a titanium plate with some scaffolding with proteins that will stimulate bone growth on it. They were able to save Whiskey's life and allow him to live the time they bought him the way ever dog should!

I thought this article was fascinating, not just because of the biomedical engineering part. My mom came across it and told me that I just had to read it. I immediately thought "This would be good for my blog!" I think I mentioned in my other post that I have touched upon becoming a zoologist, so this also applies to that. I love learning about animals, courtesy of my dad. And then on top of that I love dogs! So this article is almost perfect for me.

But from this article, I have started reconsidering applying to UC Davis because maybe I'll get to be involved in both animals and biomedical engineering.

And a little art update for anyone that may be interested! I am probably going to start a little comic strip, and if I do I will post them for all of the lovely readers out there! Life is busy, and I don't draw as much as I want, but I will try to draw something worth posting!

Next time I think I'll write about my community service or how I do my art (more as to show anyone out there that may want a career in art how I do it) which unfortunately is a long process that is rather annoying and time consuming. Until next time!
