    Computer science -> software developer -> bioinformatician

    Education is extremely important.

      Mathematics/Physics - Joint Honours they called it. Ended up doing electrical engineering, sort of.

          So far my hypothesis has been a bit rejected in terms of degree, but the overall idea seems to be holding up.

          Please love yourself.

            At one point, we had a guy hired to oversee Joint Commission concerns for nine hospitals, particularly building, physical plant and infection control problems.

            One of the nurses at our place caught the guy passing off some of her forms and policies as some of his creations. After she started cobfabbing with her fellow witches and wizards, they determined the guy had been stealing ideas from everybody, changing up letterheads and then passing them off as his own.

            Nice work, if you can get it...

            Healthcare oversight and regulation has been one of the top money wasting, scam-producing boondoggles of all time.

              Dance with a minor in piano. Went to an all girls arts school. Used a little after graduating but not very much. Lol

              (We used to drink lemon juice as we were told it would make us more flexible. I will probably have no bones left when I am older. Lol)

                        Had a doc tell me one time that he had put so many dollar bills in g-strings, that he probably funded at least one junior college degree...I suppose he was also invested in academics and dance.😄

                              BS in biomedical communications (medical illustration and photography), BS in veterinary medicine, DVM ( doctor of veterinary medicine, and yes, my formal title is Dr. Jodi 😄). I worked as a medical illustrator at a medical school, I worked as an equine vet, but after kids I was a stay at home parent who did artwork on the side. I now spend at least part of each day in my studio.

                                  I don’t think I do. Lol. I think if I saw it, it would be pretty embarrassing as I don’t think I was that good. At the time, I thought so, but for real, probably not.

                                        @taiwan_girl I have a website - todayatmydesk.weebly.com I’ve been doing a lot of experimenting these last couple of years with local foraged pigments - rocks, and soils, and a some plants (Montana is highly mineralized, so there is a lot of color in the soil around here) and making paint and pigment drawing sticks from those. There are some blog posts on the website about that, plus I post a lot on Instagram @kjodigear

                                        Here are some picture of rocks I have foraged (and the paint I made from them). the drawing sticks are made from soil pigments.
