	Discovering a Sumerian prescription tablet.
Today we left Tampa at sunrise and drove south through pine trees, the Everglades, and emerging into palm trees and a city of highways. At midday, Entisar spoke at Nova University to a class of over 120 medical students. The class is also broadcast by satellite, and students in neighboring counties and also in Ponce, Puerto Rico, took part in the presentation. Please check back here soon for the transcribed talk. After the talk Entisar received a tour of the university, including the pharmacy classes, the physical therapy practice room, and “Harvey” the mock human whose chest simulates different heart palpitations for cardiology students. Harvey is a pricey guy, but he does have an on and off button! Entisar also got to see the labs and the University’s museum of medical artifacts, where she and Aseel discovered a prescription tablet written in Sumeria. This was an absolutely wonderful afternoon.
