Hi.

I’m Victoria, and this site mostly has my sewing projects and science writing, with a sprinkling of older poetry & etc.

I’m a prairie kid, parent of two, celiac, and like lane swimming. I love to research. I did my undergrad in physics & English with a math minor. I’m now doing a Master’s in economics.

A note about the blog title: in math and physics, the prefix eigen means one's own. It comes from the german, but mostly I always liked thinking about a particle's eigenvalues, and thought I might apply the same thought to my excursions.

students on the beamline poster Students on the Beamline, or SotB, is a program at the Canadian Light Source that brings high school students to the synchrotron to perform their own original research.

This poster was designed for the 2015 Canadian Light Source Open House. To see all of the posters from the event (if you can't make it to the facility), check out their website.
