As dialysis equipment demonstrates, the kidney may be the first vital organ that humanity manages to replicate with a good deal of success. That is especially true if prototype portable equipment proves effective. The present iteration of the ‘automated, wearable artificial kidney’ looks fairly bulky and inconvenient, but it is not inconceivable that implantable artificial replacement kidneys may eventually be possible.

In the spring of 2005, I graduated from the University of British Columbia with a degree in International Relations and a general focus in the area of environmental politics. In the fall of 2005, I began reading for an M.Phil in IR at Wadham College, Oxford.
Outside school, I am very interested in photography, writing, and the outdoors. I am writing this blog to keep in touch with friends and family around the world, provide a more personal view of graduate student life in Oxford, and pass on some lessons I've learned here.
