#AIAA #Aviation abstract reviews complete!
Paper reviews are a good chance for me to keep up to date especially when working in industry does not offer many chances to publish myself, it's actually one of my favorite parts of being on a technical committee.

Happy harbor seal!
No context, just a chill dude.

This race meant a lot to me. Amid all the negativity this year, I ran in the male category for the first time. Hiding is right for some, and at times safer, but for me it was neither realistic nor effective, so why not make use of visibility - if it helps one trans person, it is worth it.

Running a marathon is at once analogous to transition, a healthy distraction keeping me centered during stressful times, and although I am simply continuing to enjoy a hobby I have had for years, an act of resistance against those who would prefer people like me withdraw from public existence.

This photo is a throwback from Halloween 2020 and a nice combination of several themes I'm trying to bring to my profile here - art (featuring a Jedi cloak I made several years ago & some very basic photo editing), wilderness (taken on dunes near death valley), and science/science fiction.

I am tricking you into following me by posting cute pictures of animals.
