It's about dignity: August 2009
http://wyapres.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 19, 2009. In 4 hours I leave WYA Africa, so sad! I'll miss scuma wiki (spinach) and Kenyan tea at all hours of the day. Thankfully I was served less matoke (deep fried banana) this trip, so my bum is less large than it otherwise would have been. We all cracked up! Apparently she was concerned he was driving badly as he was low on sleep and thought he should take a rest and be with his family for the safety of other drivers. We had our first chance to all be together and share stories...

It's about dignity: January 2009
http://wyapres.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 20, 2009. This past December I drove 13 hours north of NYC with my sister, Anna, to go home for Christmas. I hadn't been home in a full year, not since last Christmas. We left at 8am from NY, and after 6 or so hours we finally found a Starbucks, and I splurged on a white chocolate mint mocha, or something along those lines - so yummy! Home sweet home, Mom had prepared delicious food, Dad had prepared one of his non-recipe specialties which tasted horrible and we left it all for him!

It's about dignity: July 2009
http://wyapres.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 29, 2009. One of the organisations, Vision Youth Action, had organised a conference for us of 160 youth. We had 2 hours to present and also for Q&A. The questions were great, the facilitator prefaced her question by announcing that she intended to apply for Asia Pacific's summer camp next May. I did eat: shark's fin, shark's fin skin, bamboo mushroom, jellyfish, starfish, eel, eggs from a deep sea fish, and more. I also ate cold chicken that looked uncooked chopped through the skin,...

It's about dignity: June 2009
http://wyapres.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 2, 2009. There is a viewpoint in our culture that in order for someone to be successful they must work very hard, sacrifice a great deal, be without friends, miss out on important family moments, suffer from high cholesterol and heart problems, and basically choose between quality of life or success. The same applies to artistic and creative people; they should be socially awkward, impractical and suffer from wild mood-swings. Monday, June 1, 2009. How do we solve poverty? I recently read a...

Thoughts on science, writing, and science writing. The Ig Nobel Prizes. February 13, 2008 in Uncategorized. I must admit that I did not realize, when I wrote a few months ago. About calculating the surface area of an elephant, that the esteemed authors of that study had received an Ig Nobel Prize. In 2002 for their work. A hearty belated congratulations to you, K.P. Sreekumar and G. Nirmalan! Other notable Ig Nobel-worthy research achievements over the years include:. LITERATURE: Daniel Oppenheimer of Pr...

Thoughts on science, writing, and science writing. When a ceiling full of glow-in-the-dark stars isn’t enough. December 15, 2007 in art. Like penicillin, it all started with an accident. The sperm glowed. He had a full-on fluorescent green mouse. Left: Fluorescent red cancer cells lined with the fluorescent green blood vessels of a fluorescent green mouse. Right: Fluorescent red tumor in a fluorescent green mouse. Both images from here. Below the fold: glowing fishies, bunnies, and kitties…. Artist reque...

Thoughts on science, writing, and science writing. We’ll be back, after a brief message from our sponsors. March 28, 2008 in Uncategorized. This blog is on temporary hiatus while I purchase my first home and haul myself, my husband, and our four cats halfway across the country to move into it. Astute readers may note that it has already been on de facto. Hiatus for some time. It’s a time of hectic transitions, what can I say? A Blog Around The Clock. The Oscars should consider this tactic.
