Our cast of STEMM professionals will be performing Pulitzer and Tony winner Proof, about the struggles of math, education, and mental illness.

DIY brain hat!
I have been inspired by the rush of brain hats on the internet of late. And you too can make a brain hat! It's an easy project - you only need to know how to knit, purl, and decrease - but long. (You have to make approximately a bazillion brain ridges.) I adapted my pattern …
It’s 2017, where’s my cyborg?
Last week my lab mate James and I gave a talk at the Pacific Science Center on the present and future of brain-computer interfaces. It was pretty rad. I'm sorry we missed you there (unless you came, in which case thanks for finding my website!) but you can still check out the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVOYpDWT8Qk and …

Books in Review, October 2016
My current status: Surely this means you have fewer books to talk about this month, you say. To which I respond, AHAHAHAHA have you met me?? In my defense, 3 of these were really short. But I will be, possibly fruitlessly, trying to keep it brief. Grunt, Mary Roach It is legitimately one of my life …
Books in Review, September 2016
It's all sequels or things that will eventually have sequels this month. The genres I tend to read - fantasy/scifi/specfic (the boundaries are increasingly blurry), mysteries - seem to have a higher proportion of series than literary fiction does. On a related side note, I really do not like the term "genre fiction," which means basically …
