University of Texas’ College of Natural Sciences reached out to have me document their exceptional interactive and educational dining experience last month. “Mad scientist” Dr. David Laude, dean of the College of Natural Sciences, and “culinary wizard” Josh Watkins, executive chef of The Carillon Restaurant, team up to provide culinary delights and chemical reactions.

Miles for Miles

Brett — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 19:30:52 +0000

Two years ago, Miles was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune disorder that prevents his pancreas from creating enough insulin.
He needs the right amount of insulin delivered to his body everyday, for the rest of his life, and still faces many risks.
There are promising prevention therapies and better technologies for treatment being developed by medical science.
Miles and his family and friends will be walking to support research for type 1 diabetes on October 30, 2011.
Please consider donating and joining Miles’ team.
