LATEST PROJECTS

The Amaglam 

Podcast

The Amalgam | Microbial Podcast
​

A narrative podcast aimed at educating people about the complexity of microbial ecosystems and how they relate to humans. The first episode is estimated to be released February or March 2020. 

Coming soon.

Autoimmunity 

Autoimmunity | Undergraduate Thesis
​

This 8-12 page booklet is an exploration of the complex nature of autoimmune diseases and an application of the concept of autoimmunity to sociopolitical topics such as foreign policy, big data, and moral panics. Since very little is known about the nature and causes of autoimmune responses, and the tendency of the body to attack its own tissues, I hope to traverse the gap in knowledge by gathering personal stories from those affected, academic articles/essays, and art. 

Abeta Project

Abeta Research | Promislow Lab
​
This research project is aimed at linking the genetic representation of Amyloid-Beta (A-Beta) and Tau proteins with a phenotype in fruit flies. I participate in nearly all levels of the experimental protocol including sexing the flies, crossing them for reproduction, selecting experimental flies by phenotype, and use of a program called Image J to analyze the representation of A-beta and Tau in the ommatidia of the fruit fly's eye. I also participated in the management of an excel heatmap that allowed the project members to determine what materials (flies/fly food) to order for each new group.

Immunity Superimposed

Immunity Superimposed | SIAH Project
​
Using a magazine as the medium, this project explores a superimposition of immunological discourse onto certain areas in Seattle. The hope is to start new conversations about how medical and sociological narratives overlap, and what can be gained from these intersections.
 
There are four components to an immune system that I chose to look at from a sociological lens: barriers, surveillance, identification, and the elimination and/or containment of threats. In doing this work, my intention is to break down the barriers that individuals, societies, and disciplines use to protect themselves, and indicate how these systems of "protection" might be their own threats.
