We finally met Dr. Badoe (bay-due) yesterday after many month of emailing each other back and forth. Dr. Badoe is just as excited as we are about the research we will be doing this summer. There is a ton for us to do here and we are hoping that we’ll be able to get some quality research done in the next few weeks and also lay way for future groups to come in the future. We will be doing a prevalence and mortality study on down syndrome, spina bifida, preterm birth and anencephaly. Depending on how much time we have and how good of data we can find, we might also do a questionnaire/survey looking at different factors relating to birth defects. We will be meeting with Dr. Badoe today in hopes of moving down to Korle Bu, so we can be closer to the hospital.
Matt will be helping me and Lael on our birth defects research and Lael and I will also be traveling around Ghana to help Matt collect water samples. Who says research can’t be fun?
