    Again, I am constantly amazed at the ingenuity, creativity and just general awesomeness that are demonstrated by students in solving problems. I was just shown an idea I would NEVER have thought as a solution - and it is cool (literally!) and unique and it works!

    Mornin'Verse! Today's Agenda: Realizing that my knees are truly gone by hiring a handyman to do the jobs I can't anymore. Feels weird. More virtual meetings with HUNCH students which will bring on a smile. . Ending the day with poker. Feel like a winner already! LOL!

    I got to see a student's working prototype of a magnetic boot idea today. So happy for them that they got this far in the process. I love watching the pride show through.

    Mornin'Verse! Today's Agenda: Few more meetings with students who are prepping for their Preliminary Design Review for their prototypes.This position really allows me to see the dichotomy across the country of what students have access to.But their drive shows through!

    Mornin'Verse! Today's Agenda: Multiple meetings with student teams where they show their ideas for a universal GUI(graphical user interface) for nanolabs for science experiments. It's amazing what students create- many looking better than professional GUI's

    Thread. One of James Webb’s lesser known legacies was the creation of the NASA Art Program. No budget existed to commission an art program but Webb used discretionary spending from the media budget (1962).

    Mornin'Verse! Today's Agenda: Meeting with students virtually most of the day and then relaxing a bit to give my knee a rest. Seems like I am going to have at least one knee replacement in the next year or so. At least I know my future a bit better.

    I'm ordering mine! Are you?

    Did I put the link to various preorders in my last tweet? I did not! Because I’m definitely a professional author who has published three books before and still can’t remember silly things like including a link to my own books. So here it comes. You ready?

    Mornin'Verse! Today's Agenda: Lots of meetings today which will hopefully keep me off my OTHER knee which has decided it wants to join my left in having all the fun. And by fun, I mean agonizing pain.

    I was homeless when I went to Space Camp and went on a full ride scholarship through their program. We couldn't afford it either.

    Mornin'Verse! Today's Agenda: Getting the house in order. "Final" touches on my studio(with pics to come.) A ton of laundry. And meetings to enliven the day. No joke there. I love meetings with HUNCH students.
