When I met with Bulent during the orientation week in Philadelphia with Emine at the breakfast brunch, I didn't quite know what to make of him. A doctor from Turkey who knows something about technology? (Yes - the story on that is this discussion and revelation was happening when Emine was still trying to convince Bulent that she really really NEEDS a new Mac!) - And so we did what most fellows did during the first week - we talked, ate and tried to act like we were really upset at the concierge who would not bring the cheque over the instant we were done.
When I heard that the good Turkish doctor is focusing on Obseity in the US during his fellowship, I thought this guy was just really cool!! (Even cooler than the famous Simrik song!!)
I don't know if the other fellows know it yet, but Bulent is going to bring all of us on the right track - Make a project out of us. How? Get ready to share your height, weight and other stats with the Doctor who is going to help us make an assessment on how American food has an impact on us. Will we be transformed into big bowls of melted cheese or just simple pieces of eggplant and carrots swirling in the great American Cultural Salad Bowl?
Ummm... Bulent? I'm exempt from this exercise simply because I'll grab all the before-after shots... :-) Besides.. I was the one out on a run towards the Lincoln Memorial today when you and Caroline called about dinner plans... the timing of your call could not have been more appropriate!
Studying Obesity in the US - Finding contacts a 'big' problem? ;-)
