HeatSync Labs Sign

This cute sign was my first real laser cutting project with wood. All the gears rotate! It’s now hanging up outside the front of the lab. Here is the vector version (dxf) of the image I made. It can be used to make stickers and T-Shirts. Cameo in Cowork Mesa’s Video! Check it out: UPDATE: Years later and with HeatSync at a… Read more →

SEM Analysis

The DeCal I teach is the Stem Cell DeCal, a two unit class that explores the controversial topic of stem cells. One of my primary duties other than teaching sections is to make the readers for… Read more →
