Off to the Highlands

I'm in Scotland for a few days lecturing at the University of Dundee near Edinburgh.

My colleagues in Scotland and I have much to discuss about healthcare technology and policy.   I'll summarize my lessons learned next week.

Tomorrow a small group of us will climb some of the highest peaks in the UK   - Aoneach Eagach and Ben Nevis.   They're known for their uniquely bad weather (171 inches of rain per year), high winds, and challenging trails.

I've packed my total body Gortex and my lightweight Treksta Gortex boots.   Here's a complete list of my gear for the Scottish Highlands
