Skype with Dr. Yarrow

Hey guys,
So yesterday we skyped with Dr. Yarrow, who has considerable experience with various cold chains in Africa. This was extremely helpful, as he definitely reassured us about our project's importance. Additionally, we had lots of ideas and inklings about how the cold chain actually worked, and his real-world experience verified most of our assumptions, and gave us a lot of details. Some important things he told us were to keep in mind that each vaccine is different, and not to generalize too much. He gave us a bunch of papers and reviews to reference, and ideas for actually implementing our prototype in the various cold chains around the world. I think he was much more reassuring than Dr. Gammino, but both of them gave us valuable, credible feedback. I'll post my notes from the conference call on our groupspaces.

Good job team, this means we are on the right direction and we have credible support!
