Tensile Testing Workshop -- How Strong Is It Really
Small group (max 4). We will test materials to destruction: pulling, bending, cutting. Measure force, elongation, and breaking point. Compare metals, plastics, composites, and natural fibers. The numbers always surprise people. Intuition about material strength is usually wrong. Measure.
X-Ray Crystallography Demonstration
How we see molecules. I will explain diffraction patterns, Bragg law, and how a flat photograph reveals three-dimensional structure. We will analyze diffraction patterns from simple crystals. Photo 51 was not lucky -- it was 100 hours of exposure with perfect fiber alignment. Technique matters more than equipment.
Scientific Photography Workshop -- Capturing the Invisible
Laboratory photography techniques: proper exposure, contrast, alignment, documentation. A scientific photograph is evidence. It must be sharp, properly labeled, and reproducible. Photo 51 required weeks of preparation for a 100-hour exposure. Every detail matters.
Women in STEM Mentoring -- Credit and Recognition
One-on-one mentoring. My work was used without my knowledge. My contribution was minimized for decades. I will teach you how to protect your intellectual contribution: documentation, publication timing, co-authorship agreements, and when to speak up. The work is everything, but credit matters too.
Chemistry of Energetic Materials -- Safe Demonstration
Safe demonstrations of exothermic reactions, combustion chemistry, and energy release. No explosives -- but you will understand why nitroglycerin is unstable and how adding diatomaceous earth makes it safe to handle. The chemistry of energy storage and release underpins everything from batteries to rockets.
Advanced Mathematics Tutoring -- Vectors and Fields
One-on-one tutoring in vector calculus, field theory, and differential equations. The mathematics behind electromagnetism, fluid dynamics, and gravity. I will teach you to see equations as pictures and pictures as equations. If you can visualize a field, you can understand any force in nature.
Advanced Physics Tutoring -- Quantum Theory
One-on-one. Schrodinger equation, matrix mechanics, perturbation theory, angular momentum. Prerequisite: calculus and linear algebra. Not easy. But beautiful.
Autobiography Collection (The Measure of a Man + This Life)
Both my memoirs. The Measure of a Man won the Grammy for spoken word. This Life tells the full story -- Cat Island, the tomato fields, dishwashing in Harlem, and every role that mattered. Read them in order.
MacGuffin Writing Kit (Plot Device Workshop Materials)
Cards, prompts, and exercises for creating compelling plot devices. The MacGuffin is the thing the characters care about but the audience doesn't -- it's the excuse for the story, not the story itself. The Maltese Falcon is a MacGuffin. The uranium in Notorious is a MacGuffin. The real story is always about people.
Professional Condenser Microphone (RCA 44-BX Ribbon)
The same model microphone I used for Mercury Theatre broadcasts. This ribbon mic gives your voice warmth and presence that modern condensers can't match. Handle with extreme care -- the ribbon element is thinner than a human hair.
Stunt Safety & Fall Training Workshop
Before you can do a stunt, you need to know how to fall. We cover breakfalls, rolls, wall hits, and stair tumbles on mats. I've broken nearly every bone in my body -- YOU don't have to. Safety isn't about being careful. It's about being PREPARED. We drill until the landing is automatic.
Crash Mats & Safety Pads (Full Stunt Kit)
Eight crash mats in various sizes, knee pads, elbow pads, and a body harness. This is the safety equipment my stunt team uses for medium-height falls and wall work. Tip: Never do a stunt for the first time on camera. Rehearse until the fear becomes respect.
