looked on this website, surfed the Pritzker website a few times, watched some news specials on current healthcare issues, tried to catch up on current events (which is hard when you only have new newspapers and can't really do much to find out about the background behind these events), talked to my advisor at my University, talked to my summer research mentor who is actually on the Pritzker faculty
