this for that

instead of headlines about kimye, overpaid sports ‘heroes’ or the harlem shake how about filling your mind with. . .

1. life science heroes that should be household names

2. cheer nate & and his team on as them compete in a code fest at the google offices this weekend!

3. to this day‘. . .one of the most remarkable things i’ve seen in a while. for anyone who has ever been bullied or made to feel less than they are. this is for you and you might cry. i’m just warning you, but i promise that around the 5 min mark you will be so happy you kept watching!

    Good luck Nate! (I don’t think I knew he was a programmer. My hubby is too, and so am I actually – though I never think of myself as one.)

      yep! i think it’s because he is so drawn into the arts and has such a great eye for design that people often forget he codes haha–you know the ‘types’ in which i’m referring i’m sure :p

    I just finished reading The Pregnancy Project today – about a girl who faked a pregnancy for her senior project to expose stereotypes and prejudice. Such important topics!
