Blood Group O and Malaria

I'm starting to get prepared for my upcoming trip to Africa, and I must say I found this article quite interesting, especially since I fear Malaria and I have group O blood.

That leads me to pass on that my fellowship placement is finally all set! I'll be leaving for Zambia in January to spend 6 months there working on the Maternal Child Health Initiative being sponsored by the Massachusetts General Hospital Center for Global Health.

I will continue to keep posting on this blog about my experiences. I hope you will enjoy being an observer to my great adventure, and maybe even learn a thing or two.

Wish me luck!
