The Signs

In high school, I had the opportunity to create four-foot-tall metal signs that are now hung up in the lunchroom. I was the only one qualified to use the plasma cutter for commercial work, so I ended up getting individual study for 90 minutes a day to spend more time on this project. This extra time allowed me to get extremely proficient in certain aspects of Illustrator, and I learned how to plan and complete large-scale projects. I also got better at troubleshooting and making quick decisions on the fly when things didn’t go according to plan. The tech ed teacher even told me that if I wasn’t at the school, the project would have taken years longer, which made me realize just how important my role was in making it all come together.

logo design

Because of the above job I was actually recomended for for a job in logo design and fabrication. It was an extreamly good learning expeirience above anything else. I learned how to design for an actual market, how to proffit from digital work, I learned several fabrication technieches, and most of all I learned up close how a well run small buissness...well runs. All in all it was an extreamly good job opertunity that I find is still opening doors for me today, and also I can drive around my hometown and pick out the logos I designed, fabricated, or even wrapped. The shown picture was my very first design to be approved, paid for, and wrapped onto a truck

Galantamine

Galantamine is an alzimers drug that increases acetlcholine levels in your blood this is very good for alziemer's patients as it helps you fight back against the degredation of nicotinic receptors, the issue with this drug is that it has a very similer mechinism of action to the most common poison in the world Organophosphates. these cause musle degradation. While an alziemer's patient will allways choose sanity over phisical health an adolecent might not, and a lot of off label uses involving adolecents and this drug are comeing out, so I seek to test this drug on adolecent mice, and do forgrip strength tests, and musculer dry weight to see if a simaler mechinism is enough to cause simaler problems
