Day 86 of 1000
I got to work sometime after 5:30 AM. As usual, I was the first one to arrive, but the CEO of the company (Bioptigen) showed up shortly after me. When I asked him what he was doing there so early, he said that he and two other colleagues were going to run down to the North Carolina Zoo to capture Optical Coherence Tomography images of the eye of one of the African elephants their because the opthalmologist from the NCSU Veterinary school needed them due to the fact that the elephant had cataracts. How cool is that!?!!
I would like to say one of the elephants to the left is the one that got the eye check, but it was against the rules to use the pictures because when people see them with no context, sometimes they think the elephants are being badly treated. Still, it was great to hear about it when everyone got back to the office. The elephant they imaged was a 12,000 pound African Bull Elephant. I will report back if I hear anything more about what happens
That is AWESOME!!!
