Hello World!
I enjoyed reading this the other day and thought you might too. This article talks about the rise of female Captains in the maritime industry. I think it shows potential careers and opportunities in avenues that may not be traditionally thought of when thinking about what to do, where to go, (or who is taking you there as you are cruising along!). I myself am not a ship captain but I have spent a little time at sea and I do enjoy the wide open horizons, salty air, fresh breeze, and many ways to engage STEM skills. Happy sailing!

Happy Valentines & Galentines
Hello World!
Today is my favorite holiday. It is my favorite holiday because it celebrates love, and that is a wonderful thing to celebrate. To me, it is not just about romantic love, but all kinds of love- family, friends (galentines), pets, loving ourselves even or a love of STEM or other facets of life. Putting love out there is putting positive energy into the universe, I think. I wrote a silly poem for a friend today and I received a bunch of text messages from friends today, many from a past circle of techy women, orchestrated by someone who knew it’s my favorite holiday. It is just the sort of thing that brings a smile to my face and gratitude for love of all sorts. I think perhaps it brightens others’ day too, to look at today differently- not for its commercialism but for its heart. Getting more scientific now, Our hearts are important. You might enjoy this site for its unique take on love, life, the heart, and more https://www.heartmath.org
I hope you had a happy valentines & I wish you a heart full of love and love full of heart!

RIP Opportunity
Hello World!
Today we bid farewell to the Mars rover Opportunity. This rover spent 15 years exploring Mars, sending data, and showing the world horizons new and old. It was a feat of engineering, human spirit, and mechanical prowess. It did a magnificent job. If you have not read the book, Roving Mars I highly recommend it! It will take you along on the journey to Mars from the perspective of the people and to an extent, the rovers themselves. I am sad that the rover will rove no more, but grateful for everything it gave us. Godspeed Opportunity!

What’s your visual diet?
Hello World!
As a vision scientist I found this article particularly interesting and disturbing- it shows how easy it is to adjust our desired portrayal of reality (ourselves) in a way that does not allow for truth or authenticity. It is true that what we surround ourselves with matters- it makes up the mathematical baseline for which your visual system judges everything else. Diversity is important, details are important, and so is finding the beauty in our natural selves. It is a life long journey, one worth pursuing. I am glad that we have the tools of STEM, (and art and family and friends) to get to our destination!
A more academic reference (I have this book and recommend it!)
I hope as you look around, you see a bit of you in each person, and I hope when you look in the mirror, you see your unique and honest beauty.
