Amy & Rebecca are MSc students exploring the effects of dehydration on cardiac function. They have been working in the lab since January and aim to complete data collection by the end of July. Clinical Echocardiographer Prof Chris Eggett facilitated training the students in taking two specific measures using the echo ultrasound equipment and recording accurate ECG. A challenging project requiring exercise in extreme heat (40 degrees centigrade) for 3-4hrs and technically demanding taking these measures in this environment.
Amy & Rebecca both plan to travel after their MSc and may end up pursuing their interests in thermal physiology in some lab in Australia! Enjoy the travels!
