  • Grad Life: Thinking About the Nebulous Future

    Figure 1 is how I often feel. A deer caught in headlights and looking slightly guilty. Up until a few years ago, it’s how I felt when thinking about my future. Now I think I have a pretty clear path of things to try, and reasonable fall backs. Figure 1 is still me when I’m…

  • Sketchy Science: Local Relative Humidity for Winter Dehydrated Houseplants

    In progress. Math has not been checked! A friend of mine and I have been talking about orchids lately. The dendrobium papilo comes from a relatively cool growing area in the Phillipines.

I’ve been travelling internationally alone for the…

  • Sketchy Science: Science in Sci-Fi

    They used to call me the bug queen. Sometimes life is stranger than fiction. Here I am, waiting on a phone call from IT after I found out that my access token has never been granted (despite using it for 3 years or so) and my account doesn’t have VPN access and never has. I…
