Recruitment for blood donors

So I am exploiting the blog for my lab's research purposes. The Rutledge lab isolates postprandial lipids weekly from blood donors. In order to be a donor, you must consume a high-fat diet 3-hour prior to the blood draw (which will be done by a trained phlebotomist, not myself). High fat meaning 40% saturated fat. A meal consisting of bacon, eggs made with real butter, and bagel with creme cheese usually does the trick. You will also be compensated with 20 dollars. If you are interested in donating (I know several of you are already helping out, thank you!) please send me an email: lilee@ucdavis.edu

Thanksssss!!!!
