Abby Drew was on the edge of a bleacher seat in Mexico’s Sports Complex on Saturday afternoon, the combination of excitement and exhaustion causing her to tremble.
“Look,” she said, stretching out an arm. “I’m shaking.”
Moments earlier the Bulldogs 122 pounder had bested Fulton’s Emma Oglesby in an epic four overtime match full of plot twists, claiming an 11-10 decision that sent Drew to the third place match. And almost the same time on the second mat, Kaylynn Pehle’s sudden move with 30 seconds left gave her a 10-6 win over Camdenton’s Lucinda Baker and a spot in the 132-pound consolation final.

A new open source neurostimulator for students, researchers, and hobbyists interested in learning neuroscience will soon be available from the Crowd Supply website. Neurostimulation is the application of short electrical pulses on the surface of the skin to stimulate underlying nerves and muscles. Watch the video below to learn more about the new development board called the NeuroStimDuino.
“NeuroStimDuino overcomes the challenges of delivering neurostimulation by providing an open-source stimulator in the form of an Arduino shield. It is designed for students, researchers, and hobbyists alike, to help them explore neuroscience by studying the effects of neurostimulation on muscle contraction.
