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.
This fellow, Gurcharn Brar, uses all kinds of CLS techniques to look inside wheat, and understand how diseases (in this case, wheat blight) progress in them. The combination of techniques shows both chemical and physical changes, and can help create healthier breeds.
