Trying to Connect With a Professional

After 2 weeks of researching Bone Strengthening techniques, we tried contacting medical professionals through electronic email in regards to our project. Since we have  not yet  received any responses we will contact Shayan's sister, who is a Doctor at Texas Tech University in hopes of helping us connect with a orthopedist specialist. Through our research, we have started to gain more knowledge about Bones but now we are trying to find methods in which our hypothesis can be tested. Unfortunately, since we don't have the equipment to test our Bone Strengthening techniques we have to wait until we grab a hold of  a professional. Another aspect we enjoy researching in this topic is the fact that bone anatomy seems easy but the physiology behind is what allows us to think of the impossible. We believe that if we weren't exposed to the Anatomy and Physiology class we wouldn't have found our true passion. Our passion and ultimate goal in this project is to help people from all spectrum's around the world. Hopefully in the following weeks we will be able to elaborate more on the process needed to conduct scientific analysis on Bone strengthening techniques and at the end come to positive  conclusions.

Our Progress After 2 Weeks

After 2 weeks, we have gained more understanding on how bones rebuild and how bone strengthening works. With this new information, we are able to better evaluate whether our ideas are realistic or not. We, Abhay and Shayan, have learned to work together very efficiently to help build of each other's ideas. We have also learned to problem solve, think outside the box, and connect ideas together to come up with solutions to certain obstacles. As of now, we have had no real setbacks besides trying to understand material, but we will just need to dig deeper and research more in order to fix this problem. The next steps in our process is to gain a more deeper understanding of our topic and to finalize a few solutions that we can build upon. We are planning to use our research to help patients who have osteoporosis, which is a way for us to connect our topic to the community.
