Hi, my name is Will Bennett, and i am a current seventh grader at Nobles. I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions for my CP (Computer processing) course. How did you get involved with this? Whay kind of doctor are you? The inevntion I was given is the pronged vaccination and testing needle. So far I know the Benjamin Rubin invented it in 21965, in a Wyeth laboratory. Do you know anymore information? Thanks a lot
Will
Hi Will, I take care of patients with infectious diseases and I do research
in immunology. That means I probably should know about the pronged
vaccination and testing needle, but I don't. First, can you tell me when it
was invented--I am not sure if this needle was for real ( and you made a
typo), or if the date is for real and we are talking science fiction.
Thanks, Anne
I am sorry I made a typo there, it was invented in 1965. What kind of infectious diseases do you deal with? Do you work at harvard? My father went their the class of 71'. I will write more later.
GOOD, so it is a real needle. Do you want to try and contact the company
and find out about it? I might be able to get an email address from the web.
I do work at Harvard Medical School and at the Beth Israel-Deaconess
Medical Center. The patients I see have all sorts of infections--skin
infections (cellulitis), lung infections (pneumonia), infections around the
brain (meningitis), etc, etc, etc. Did your father go to Harvard Medical
School?
adios, Anne

Hi Mui, I just thought you might like to know that someone went up on stage and gave a rose for you to Brett Wood, since you won't make the senior sixie dance. What sports do you play at nobles?
Yes, I told my friend Amy Mendel to give Brett a flower for me. It was actually my idea for us all to get up on stage and call our sixie dates up. But it turned out that I couldn't be there on Friday to make the announcement because I had two AP exams. I was sad about that . . .
I cox the Boys Varsity Crew. We are going away next Friday (the night of the dance) for our New England's Regatta at Lake Quinsigamond, so I can't make it to the dance. You should come see our race if you can.
What sports do you play? Who is your Senoir-Sixie dance date? If you don't yet have one, I'll be happy to get you one.
Where is lake Quinsigamond? Is it in NH? I play soccer, hockey, and lax. My senior-sikie date is Katie Lee. What college are you gonna go to? Have you ever used a needle? I will write more later
Will-
Quinsigamond is in or near Worcester, MA. I am going to Harvard next year. What kind if needle are you talking about?
Write again later.
