They were highly supportive. I also asked a lot of questions - since my father was a doctor, we talked a lot about biology and medicine. There was no question he wouldn't answer. I am a Research Investigator at the University of Michigan, so I primarily get to do the research I described in question 29. But I also teach histology once in a while.
Histology is the study of tissues.
We slice them and look at the tissues thru the microscope. The hardest part is to get a 3D picture in your mind when you are looking at a 2D object under the microscope. I met my husband at the University of Michigan. The project went ok, not great. But we started dating about a week later.
