As my title suggests, this will be a short summary about what this blog is all about. The basis of The Intriguing Connection is to find a link between bionics and bacteria. I first became interested in bionics after watching Hugh Herr's TED talk "The new bionics that let us run, climb and dance." It was inspiring to see just how technology changes the human experience and how each intricate movement is critical to the balance and poise of the user. Hugh Herr has an incredible life story which propelled me to reading his biography Second Ascent.
I'm Helena Hurbon, a senior at BASIS Tucson North utilizing my third trimester to study relationships between bionics and bacteria. I am so blessed to have the opportunity to explore my interests at the University of Arizona engineering department. Ultimately, I hope to relate my research at the U of A to my overall goal of studying how bacterial growth could potentially affect prosthetic usage. Unfortunately, my research is to be kept confidentially until research is publishable, therefore, I will not be blogging about my day-to-day internship tasks. My blog will consist mainly of my independent research revelations and current progress I am making on my goal. I am so excited to share the work I will be doing, so stay tuned as I uncover The Intriguing Connection.
