The beginning of the trip started with a whirlwind of events! The girls luckily met me at the train station to help me find my way to hotel Alfa in Basel Switzerland. I had a feeling it would have taken me alot longer to find my way there if i had to do it alone. We had a great dinner with nils after our introduction meeting.
Day 1 started off the day with a lecture and tour of Novartis facilities. They showed us everything that goes into the process of creating and marketing prescription drugs. I found the packaging portion of the tour really interesting because i didn't realize all of the time and thought that has to go into the packaging. Not only do u have to put it in something for transport but you have to think about the degradation of the drug due to light and temperature and remember that the package not only protects the drug but protects you when handling the drugs. In the afternoon we had a tour of the city of Basel. It was amazing! The Rhine was beautiful and we all enjoyed a beer sitting on the wall and chatting. im pretty sure we were the loudest group there. After only a day i already feel like we are all so close :)
