Recently, the Karabots Junior Fellows learned about phlebotomy. While some people may be squeamish at sight of blood, the practice of drawing blood is an important technique with a variety of applications in medicine.  To take them through the process, our very own Quincy Greene, who is a certified phlebotomist, walked the Fellows through the tools, techniques, and science surrounding drawing blood. Our intern, Kierson was brave enough to volunteer as a test subject for a blood draw. The Fellows asked a lot of questions, including whether Quincy has ever fainted while drawing (he hasn't, although some of his patients have), and he shared his experience with aplomb.
