FW: Mark-gne therapy @ HEI

[Guest guest]

Hey ,

I think the " mechanical engineering " got in Marks note in error. I know that he

did say " If HEI is a mechanical engineering...... " . Someone else said this

before Mark and I believe he was referring to that post. As far as I know, HEI

is not a " mechanical engineering " place. I suspect this was said because HEI

developed the ABI. As an engineer, I can tell you that HEI could not have

developed the ABI without strong engineering support. I would think the ABI

covers a few different areas of engineering but has minimal mechanical

engineering input. Unfortunately, engineers are often not given the credit they

deserve. Where would we be without the CT scanner or the MRI? Do you think it

would have been possible to develop this technogy without engineers?

So u did say you ARE disappointed...regardless I don't want to get into a

battle of words over an e mail. I know I felt just insulted or disappointed I

should say that you seemed negative about HEI and the mechanical engineering.

Positive thinking is the only thing that is going to get us through

Hey ,

I got so engrossed in my note that I forgot to say how I think the " mechnical

engineering " got into this in the first place which is what I wanted to answer

for you. I think it goes back to someone saying that HEI was a bit of a

mechnical engineering place or something like that. I think the person thought

this because they felt the ABI (which originated at HEI) was a bit of a

mechnical device. I don't really know much about the ABI but I doubt it is very

mechnical.

The original note (not written by Mark) referred to 2 places doing gene therapy

work, MIT and HEI. I doubt anyone meant to imply gene therapy was related to

mechnical engineering (unless you have met the Borg). In any case, I hope this

sheds a little more light on you mechnical engineering question.

Ok well that's fine and yes I whole heartedly agree that we'd be no where

with ABI's and the things you mentioned if it weren't for engineers. No one

has yet to answer my question about what Mark said though, maybe I worded it

wrong...what does mechanical engineering have to do with gene therapy? What

exactly kind of mechanical engineering are we talking about? On the body or

some type of devise? I'm in the dark, but want to know more if anyone has

ideas.

Thanks,
