Someone did some clean-up/reorganizing at Olin recently and found several boxes of old SCOPE things, so Rebecca, the SCOPE Director, brought the boxes around to the relevant teams. The BoSci materials that were found were marked "STENTS" and consisted of two long tubes in plastic bags.
When Rebecca came by, she said, "I brought you more stents!" assuming that something marked with "STENTS" would contain stents. We pulled the plastic wrap off and looked inside the two tubes and were disappointed to find them empty, at which point we realized there was something wrapped around the tubes, and maybe that was the important part.
It was a diffracting white sheet of some kind of polymer. We're not really sure what it was for, but we had fun throwing it around to watch it float, wearing it as a cape, and making it do diffraction-y things. We also think we know which BoSci project it was from. One year, BoSci sponsored multiple projects, and so the teams were identified by general topics, polymers and stents. We believe the tube was marked "STENTS" because it was for the Stents Team.
