Made by these hands for 65 years. Choose your colors and pattern -- traditional Sicilian, modern geometric, or 'surprise me Rosa.' Takes 2-3 weeks. Each shawl comes with a tag that says who made it and a lifetime guarantee, because I plan to outlive everyone in this neighborhood.
Cloud Chamber (Wilson Type, Desktop)
Desktop cloud chamber that makes radioactive particle tracks visible. Pour in isopropyl alcohol, cool the base, and watch cosmic rays and natural radiation leave vapor trails in real time. It's like seeing the invisible forces that pass through your body every second. Mesmerizing and educational.
Chemistry Lab Fundamentals -- Precision & Safety
Small group (max 4). Proper lab technique: titration, crystallization, fractional precipitation, safe handling of chemicals. I'll teach you the way I learned at the Sorbonne -- hands on, precise, no shortcuts. You will weigh to four decimal places. You will label every beaker. You will keep a proper lab notebook. Sloppiness in a lab kills people. I should know.

Brass refractor telescope, 20x magnification -- same power as the one I used to discover Jupiter's moons. Two lenses in a tube. Simple, elegant, world-changing. Point it at Jupiter on a clear night. You'll see the four Galilean moons. Then you'll understand why the Church was afraid.
Night Navigation Workshop -- Follow the North Star
Navigating by stars, moss, river direction, and landmarks in total darkness. I moved hundreds of people through swamps and forests at night with no map. The North Star was our compass. The drinking gourd song was our code. Tip: Move when the dogs cannot track -- in rain, through water, downwind. The night is your friend if you know her.
Plains Survival & Tracking Workshop
Reading tracks, finding water on the open plains, building shelter from materials at hand, fire making. My people lived on these plains for thousands of years without a single building. The land provides everything if you know how to ask. Tip: Listen more than you look. The wind carries information.
Geiger Counter (Professional Grade, Calibrated)
Professional-grade Geiger-Muller counter, recently calibrated. Detects alpha, beta, and gamma radiation. Includes headphones for the characteristic clicking sound. When Pierre and I first heard the clicks from our radium sample, we knew we had something the world had never seen.
Civil War Field Medicine Kit
Reproduction of a Civil War medical kit: bandages, tourniquets, herbal remedies, splint materials, suture kit. I served as a nurse before I led raids. Patching wounds in the field with no anesthesia and no hospital. These tools are replicas for training in field medicine basics.
