hawaii!

i didn't take this picture. i stole it off the internet from http://theory.utdallas.edu. I never post pictures from the internet, but i've never been to hawaii and don' t have any pictures...

right as we were leaving for salt lake, ty found out that the research he did as an undergrad at the u is being published. he can tell the story better, but he's too busy, so you have to hear it from me.

the short story is that he did a lot of anesthesiology research for his senior project. right before he presented it, they told him all his information was outdated and they had to change a bunch of things, but thanks anyway for doing the research. it was kindof a downer.

but, a couple months ago, the professor he worked with called to tell him they were trying to publish the research and he would be first author (that's kindof a big deal!). come to find out they didn't change that much of what he had done, so he quickly put together an abstract (he had about 2 days between when they contaced him and when it had to be done) and they submitted it.

we waited for a long time to hear if it would be chosen for the conference or not and we're really happy it was! we're really excited it's being published and he has the chance to present it at at the conference . did i mention the conference is in hawaii? :)

WAY TO GO TY! i think you're amazing!
