I love this, Bryn! I’m going to try it myself. I was thinking today about doing more data-focused art projects- kind of like the weather tapestry(?) - as a way to channel my overthinking brain into hands-on projects 😊 this is a great way to start! It’s also fun to see the parallels between our journeys, as well as the differences. My scientific awakening began in second grade, for example, but unlike you my road did not diverge at chemistry- even though I was abysmal at it.
Wow, Bryn, just wow. 🙌 Totally gripped by your glorious timeline - there is so much to love about this post!
I've just written this in my journal:
"Sometimes, all it takes is a handful of beans to create some magic."
YES!

This is beautiful and very insightful!
