About
I fell for chemistry when a teacher showed us red cabbage turning blue. I still think that's one of the best tricks in the world, and I still use it.
I like careful lab work, clean data and explaining results to people who aren't chemists. I'm interested in cheap, accessible tools for science education.
I also crochet, swim, and keep a jar of every colour of sand I've ever collected.
