To my readers in the greater Dallas area— are any of you interested in finding solutions to problems in health care, medicine, or public health?

I’d like to become involved with a local such think tank or create my own brain storm club.

Tonight, my friends and I visited SMU’s Meadows Museum to see the permanent collection. As luck would have it, we received a guided tour through the upcoming Martin Rico exhibition.

The website’s photos do his work no justice— you have to see it in person. If you live in the Dallas area, I absolutely recommend it. I plan to return and spend hours absorbing everything.

looking for a job

I’m looking for a part-time job to help pay for tuition. Before I try local (Dallas) places, I’d like to test Tumblr and see if any online opportunities exist.

I have a background in both art and science. I am comfortable writing, designing, illustrating, and tutoring, but I am open to other areas of work.

You will get an affable, professional employee who communicates well, is capable of creative and analytic thought, and will work hard— and produce.

More information is available upon request. You can email me here.

A series of tornadoes hit the Metroplex today. This raw footage from NBC-5 shows a tornado lifting and throwing 18-wheelers.

I was at UT-Dallas today. On my way out, I noticed the sunlight pouring through the details of the architecture and bouncing off the green-tinted windows onto the ground.

The Dallas Mavericks are NBA champions!
The same Mavericks who were a joke when I was growing up. Champions!
But my most memorable takeaway from this playoff run is all the time my friends and I have been able to spend together. We’re childhood friends from grade and high school, and it’s rare that so many of us have been able to come together so frequently— and special because a few of us will be leaving the area or returning to school soon.
So, thank you.
