Yesterday we learned so much about video editing-we used Windows Movie Maker and Adobe Premiere Pro to manipulate our own video files! Today I gave a oral presentation with Sid on a man named Dr. Neal Driscoll! We will hear his lecture on Thursday!....But today we heard a lecture about diabetes, which was really intersting and informative. I now kow about the lastest advances in the field and I can distinguish the difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes!
