July 2, 2018, Filed Under: 2018, fun, ut austinBowling Party! Hello! My name is Gabriela Hernandez and I am a rising sophomore at Boston University. I have spent these past four weeks as a participant in the BME CURes Cancer REU, here at UT Austin, and I have nothing but great things to say about the time I’ve spent here. Not only am I able to conduct research on a topic that fascinates me, but I am also able to make great summer memories with amazing people. Below are some pictures of one of these memories at the Union Underground. In this picture, Fawaz, Donovan, and Josh are carrying the bowling champion, Dominique. All four of them are in the BME CURes Cancer REU, just like I am. Here is a picture featuring Ella, Corey, Ashley, and Emily! These girls are in an REU called MRSEC, and we’re excited to bowl after a long, grueling day in lab. Not to mention these girls have serious skill! They ended their first game with a combined score of 384. Here is a picture of Josh after scoring a strike! Josh’s first time bowling was at this bowling social, so he was all smiles when all ten pins fell down. I must admit, even though Josh is just a beginner, he could easily pass as a professional. Action Shot! This picture clearly portrays Dominique’s amazing form. She states that flicking her hind leg up gives her leverage and pointing her index finger ensures that the ball rolls straight and down the middle. Dominique, the bowling champion, ended her second game with a score of 178. Way to go Dominique! Donovan, a.k.a the fast and the furious, only knows how to bowl two ways, and that’s fast and powerful. Donovan scored three strikes in a row his first game. The amount of precision and strength he outputs each round is definitely impressive. Donovan says that he’s excited for the next bowling event because it’s a great way to relax after a long day in lab. -Gaby, Boston University
