Eyes up! Keeping your focus forward is important in both derby and science! It's how you plan, anticipate challenges, devise solutions, and execute. It is how you see the big picture and how your work fits into the broader context of science or the game! Full post on the blog!

Getting ready to welcome a new class of skaters to @bigeasyrollerderby this weekend got me thinking about my own Fresh Meat Bootcamp! Here's a fresh-faced throwback selfie from then. Don't forget to fall small, y'all! brainsandbruises.com/blog/fallsmall1
