Insatiably curious. Lover of language. Fascinated by patterns. Gets lost down rabbit holes. A trifle geeky and rebellious. How does it work? Why? Loves animals, music, art. World Citizen (Lived in India, Iran, Lebanon, UK, now USA) Current obsessions: 25k+ photo & ancestry mash up project (year 1900+ and NE Tribal India), and home makerspace & laser cutting design. AND Pachyderms. :) Onwards and upwards towards the world we could be. Be a strong voice for the voiceless. She/her.
Sharing more playtime project. Laser with acrylic. Last thing was October birthday cake topper, inspired by photo of friends' little boy and his dog, looking out of their window together. I added in separate pumpkins and the word ONE. He's one obvs. :) I use Adobe Illustrator and cut on laser. I try to get kerf (hair width material laser removes when it cuts) exact 0.055" +/-, so acrylic inlay slots right in. Not "high art" but it's fun.
"Her patient had signs of what could be a cancer or could be an unusual infection — diagnoses that would require completely different treatment. Ordinarily, she would confirm an infection after sending a sample to the CDC for testing its lab would perform — the only one in the U.S. capable of doing so.
The CDC no longer has the capacity to do that, she was told, not disclosing the nature of the test to protect her patient’s privacy."
