Brains

I held a human brain in my hands today!  Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would ever utter that sentence.  I was not even looking forward to seeing it let alone touching it, but I'm glad I did.  It was about the size of a head of cauliflower but really much heavier than I expected.  I also learned a lot about the brain from our micro-teaching lesson today like, for instance, that it is made up largely of water and fat and that carbohydrates and hydration are important in keeping a healthy brain . . . who knew?!
