We are both huge nerds and strongly bonded over Battlestar Galactica. Opposites definitely attracted because he's always super human I'm always a super cylon.

Science! It's pretty great.

Thanks for having my back. I know that wasn't the important topic of the piece, and I was worried about being obnoxious. It's not unlikely that the unaddressed error would have been on my mind as I drift off to sleep later tonight, and I can't have ol' Avogadro come visit me in slumber-land... (crap, now that I think…

Husband designed them. Mimics the art on the back on our first stove in our first kitchen that we shared together. We love to cook, eat and entertain.

While I know there will be criticism around her writing of this piece— "she's self indulgent! elitist! out of touch! who cares!" etc. etc. I have to say that I didn't know anything about the BRCA1 gene mutation/testing before her first piece.
