| Summary of project | This project included the creation of a sample piece of glass art based on a microscopic slide of longitudinal and cross section of the collecting ducts of the kidney. This sample piece will serve as an inspiration for a larger collection in the future to introduce non-medical professionals to the worlds of histology and pathology and to inspire community dialogue about microscopic anatomy. Through this project we are trying to provide non-scientists an opportunity to see the more complex workings of the human body. This piece will be placed in a dialysis unit to begin the discussion. |

| Lessons/suggestions | This was a good beginning of a project. Unfortunately a few funding sources fell through so I didn't have enough money to make the complete exhibit. This beginning though was very helpful to the larger goal. |
