+<br>Mark Taylor was born in Longview, Texas in 1956, and grew up in nearby Gladewater. He graduated from Gladewater High School in 1974 and received an Associate of Science degree from nearby Kilgore College in 1976. Mark transferred to Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas where he received B.S. M.S. degrees in 1978 and 1980, respectively. After receiving his M.S. Mark taught biology, oceanography, and geology at Jersey Village High School in Houston. Wanting to teach at a higher level after teaching a full year at Jersey Village, he went back to college to pursue a doctorate degree. He began teaching at Baylor University in 1985 and received a Ph.D. Texas A&M University in 1986. Dr. Taylor has taught human anatomy & physiology (A&P) every semester since 1988, and in the fall 2020 semester he taught his 142nd class. In addition to A&P, Dr. Taylor has taught courses in introductory biology (BIO 1306) and ecology (BIO 3403). For three years, he served as co-director of Baylor’s Pre-Health Program.<br>

+<br>Dr. Taylor is an avid educator who has published several texts and lab manuals. In addition, he has published a number of articles in The American Biology Teacher, the journal for the National Association of Biology Teachers. Dr. Taylor and Dr. Sally Jackson developed an interactive game for the immune system, called ImmunoScenarios, which was patented in 1996. Dr. Taylor is a member of several professional societies, including The Human Anatomy & Physiology Society (HAPS). He has presented workshops at regional and national HAPS conferences and is ever mindful of developing innovative strategies for teaching biology. The high points of Dr. Taylor’s days on campus are teaching in the classroom and interacting with students during office hours. Outside of the classroom, Dr. Taylor enjoys spending time with friends and family, especially his wife, Linda, to whom he has been married for over 40 years. They are avid cyclists. Whether riding with a local bicycle club or on rides to support various charities, their goal is to ride their bikes over 4000 miles per year.<br>

+<br>Mood:must go to bed. Left Masterton around 11.30am as we had heard there were roadworks just south of the Twin Bridges at the bottom of the [Rimutaka Hill](https://healthtian.com/?s=Rimutaka%20Hill) Road, however there was hardly any delay there at all. The new road on the Kaitokes is progressing well. There doesn't look to be much to go now and I would say we will shortly be driving the cutting in the hill. During Robyn's daily radiation trips, we watched the hill be "downsized". Arrived at the Wellington Cancer Society carpark in good time. We were surprised to see the new building development at Wellington Hospital - across the road from where we parked. It is still in the tear down stage and the rooms we used to visit are now being torn down. After getting a chest x-ray done, we had our first visit to the recently opened Cancer Outpatient Department. That has been the first part of the new hospital to be built and the rest of the new hospital will be built around it.<br>

+<br>Robyn saw Dr Douglas Iupati. He said that Robyn's chest X-Ray looked good. Once again he did not have Robyn's [blood sugar wellness supplement](https://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/view_profile.php?userid=1351100) results. She had those done last week at Masterton Hospital. We are not sure which hospital is at fault. Might need to check that one out. He had to ring for them and said that they looked fine. Robyn's legs are still itching and she is scratching them until they bleed. She has a few on her arms too. Robyn said that it is most irritating at night. Her legs get hot, then they itch. Douglas said it was unusual but none of us feel it is related to any cancer activity. However, to rule out that possibility, he has ordered Robyn a CT scan (chest and abdomen) to be done by the end of the month. He also mentioned that it might be wise to repeat the bone marrow test. I think Robyn is OK about having the CT scan (it is a year since she had one), but I don't believe she will go through another bone marrow test at this stage.<br>
