Hello, everybody. My name is Jason. I'm from Miami Beach, FL and am a huge sports fan, so I love my Heat, Dolphins, and Marlins. I live in Blackwell. I'm thinking BME, but who knows?

Here's a cool article about personalized medicine:

My favorite Matlab Demo is the Traveling Salesman. At first, this title conjured images of Willy Loman, the protagonist of Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman." Alas, this was not the topic of the demo. Instead, this demo shows how matlab calculates the shortest closed-circuit path between a given set of points (or travel itinerary across a certain set of cities). After setting the amount of cities/points in the circuit, one gets to physically watch matlab cycle through the possibilities and slowly refine its answer. In the end, the answer is always a polygon (the circuit never crosses itself), which I found particularly insightful.
