Here is a page of pictures I took while on a sabbatical "pilgrimage" to Mendel's Monestary in Brno, Czeck Republic in Fall of 2006.

We took a field trip to the cytogenetics lab of Dr. Ruth Blough at Children's Hospital on 27 Feb 2003.  Thanks to Rachel for instigating this excellent learning experience for the class.
