A friend was going through some old papers and came across an article in the Kansas City Star about a local kid who made good by winning an internship at The Economist. Yup, that’s my smiling face! I was giddy! I couldn’t have asked for a more amazing introduction to writing about science.

So how am I doing with those interest and goals mentioned in the piece? Well, I’m definitely writing about solid-state lighting and foldable displays. I don’t have a book about the periodic table in the works, but I still like the idea. The big disappointment is that I’m not actually an astronaut right now. Yeah. That’s a dream that’s never going to die.
