I’m a prairie kid who loves research. I have a Master’s in economics with a focus on public programs, labour and education. Long before that, I did my undergrad in physics & English with a math minor.
Besides my resume, you’ll find this page full of sewing projects, the odd published poem, and stories about Canadian science.
A note about the blog title: in math and physics, the prefix eigen means one's own. It comes from the german, but mostly I always liked thinking about a particle's eigenvalues, and thought I might apply the same thought to my excursions.
This fellow, Gurcharn Brar, uses all kinds of CLS techniques to look inside wheat, and understand how diseases (in this case, wheat blight) progress in them. The combination of techniques shows both chemical and physical changes, and can help create healthier breeds.
