Today was my second day of the malaria trial that I'll be doing for the next month and a half. This appointment was quite similar to the previous one, (you can get the full details from the first entry here).
More details: The study is being run out of the Walter Reid Army Institute of Research, or WRAIR for short. My wife's been working there for nearly two years in their Near-Peer Mentorship program and the research that goes along with it. I learned about the study from her networks there.
The medical facility is on an active army base, so there's security to go through and a lot of folks in full fatigues. You are required to have escorts throughout the buildings, a protocol instilled due to the military facility shooting that happened a few years back. It's a bit silly, seeing as the shooter was an active military employee and not a guest...anyway, what makes this interesting is that many of the doctors are military and therefore must wear their uniforms in the lab/clinic. It's an odd sight to see.
Not much more to report, really. I've got four more of these Mondays to go and next week I'm getting bit by the mosquitoes!

everything's heavy
