“A Beaverton seventh-grader invented a bandage that can tell doctors when it needs to be changed, thus speeding healing, and with her invention, finished in the top eight in an international science contest run by Google.” By Betsy Hammond | The Oregonian/OregonLive

Takin’ it to the next level with her innovation, creativity, and midnight blue fingertips! Rock on!

Good to know I’m not the only playing my air drums in the car! 🙂 Here’s to #ThumbsUpThursday!

Just because you do not take an interest in politics,
doesn’t mean politics won’t take an interest in YOU.

To my wonderful students…my ‘PEP’ talk for you this morning:
1. Take ‘Pride’ in what you do. All work has meaning and significance. Invest with full dedication and concentration.
2. ‘Elevate’ your craft. Steady refinement. You can and will do it better with time, practice, and networking with your elders.
3. ‘Pursue’ the benefit of community through your craft. Channel your brilliance, initiative, and energy and pay it forward. You inherit this responsibility when you sign up for graduate school :).

Now go out there and work your magic dude!
