    I thought this article was really interesting after reading "As We May Think" by Vannevar Bush as another way to show how far we are coming with science that now Google is making contact lens that will measure Glucose levels in Tears. It is amazing to see how advanced we are with technology. #emac6300

    Amanda, having diabetes this is an awesome thing. I can't tell you how many times I wished for some other way to monitor my glucose levels without having to prick my finger. I've done it for years, but you only have ten fingers and it gets old pretty fast. I have to alternate fingers and hands to let the others heal enough to prick all over again. This is amazing and I'll be in line I'm sure when this product is actually released to the public. I just worry about cost, can an average diabetic afford this kind of technology and will insurance pay for it? Thanks for posting this! #emac6300

    You know, I was wondering about the contact itself. I use to wear contacts and if anything got under it, it was killer. It would irritate my eye constantly till I could get it out. How can the chip not bother or be noticeable to the wearer?That chip on the fake eye in the video looked pretty big, even bigger than the photo in the article Amanda provided. How could I see past it, how transparent could it be? Also, if the wearer uses saline to water the eye, does that mess up the tear glucose readings. Man, I have a lot more questions for the manufacturers and scientists behind this. I would love to be a tester for this product. #emac6300

higher ed race racism

shared by purplekimchi on 25 Feb 14 - No Cached
  • In the news media and in popular culture, the notion persists that millennials — born after the overt racial debates and divisions that shaped their parents’ lives — are growing up in a colorblind society in which interracial friendships and marriages are commonplace and racism is largely a relic
  • being “postracial” can mean replicating some of the divisions and insensitivity of the past, perhaps more from ignorance than from animus
  • “There’s this preconceived notion that our generation is postracial, but there’s these incidents that happen constantly that disprove that point,

  • “It’s not a conscious racism. It’s subconscious.”
  • But many others said that failing to account for the reality of race created an unrealistic view of the world
