I'm living in a dorm for the first time in 14 years. All this week, I'll be in UIUC's Allen Hall, participating in their Unit One Artist-in-Residence program. I'm giving a talk every night on topics ranging from energy, to science communication, to the history of tech, to human experimentation. I've also got an open door for any students and community members to drop by. If you're around, come say hi!
