I’m Victoria, and this site mostly has my sewing projects and science writing, with a sprinkling of older poetry & etc.
I’m a prairie kid, parent of two, celiac, and like lane swimming. I love to research. I did my undergrad in physics & English with a math minor. I’m now doing a Master’s in economics.
A note about the blog title: in math and physics, the prefix eigen means one's own. It comes from the german, but mostly I always liked thinking about a particle's eigenvalues, and thought I might apply the same thought to my excursions.
Science activities featured on the blog are from my Saturday Science class in Westmount, QC. It's a hands-on, kid-led, exploration-based class, and I think it's a lot of fun. I work as a science communicator for the Canadian Light Source synchrotron and freelance occasionally.
For writing, editing or science fun needs, feel free to email: victoria.martinez@usask.ca.
I'm based in Saskatoon and would be happy to meet in person.[ccf_form id="985"]
