GeyserCon 2019
My very first convention panels! (One on science in scifi and another on the MCU) I had a great time and ate way too much. Endless thanks to my dear friend Sasha for accompanying me.
The Science of Eurovision 2019
Last year I was inspired to find random moments of science in several of the entries' lyrics. No one told me never to do it again, so here we go...
