Bug Hunting Workshop -- Find Bugs Like a Pro
I'll teach you how to find bugs in web apps. Manual testing, exploratory testing, writing test cases. 3-hour workshop. Bring your laptop and a sharp eye. We'll break things together.
Statistical Analysis for Beginners
One-on-one tutoring. First woman elected to the Royal Statistical Society. Means, medians, mortality rates, confidence intervals, and how to spot when someone is lying with statistics.
First Aid & Wound Care Training
Wound cleaning, bandaging, splinting, infection prevention. Tip: Wash your hands. In 1854, army surgeons did not wash between patients. I made them. The death rate dropped 40 percent. Hygiene is not optional.
Scientific Journal Writing Workshop
Small group (max 4). Write clear, persuasive scientific papers. On the Origin of Species is 490 pages of meticulous evidence before a single bold claim. Build your case like a lawyer. Present it like a storyteller.
Natural Selection Workshop -- Evolution in Action
Hands-on with specimens. Variation within species, selection pressure, adaptation. The fittest does not mean strongest -- it means best adapted. We examine bird beaks, shell shapes, and seed dispersal.
Data Visualization Workshop -- Make Numbers Speak
I invented the polar area diagram to show Parliament that soldiers died from bad sanitation. Numbers in a table are ignorable. Numbers in a picture are undeniable. Bring your data. Leave with a visual argument.
AM/FM Radio Kit (Build Your Own, Soldering Required)
Complete kit to build a working AM/FM radio from components. Circuit board, capacitors, resistors, coils, speaker. Soldering iron included. Takes about 3 hours. You will understand tuning, amplification, and demodulation by building them with your hands.
Radio & Wireless Communication Workshop
Hands-on session covering radio fundamentals: frequency, amplitude, modulation, and why your WiFi works. I will explain frequency hopping with a player piano analogy -- the same concept George Antheil and I patented in 1942. You will build a simple AM radio receiver by the end.
Invention & Reinvention Mentoring
One-on-one session. I was a movie star and a weapons inventor. I escaped a fascist husband and reinvented myself three times. If you are stuck between identities, between careers, between who you were and who you want to be -- talk to me. The world will try to put you in one box. Refuse.
Science for Young People -- The Christmas Lecture
A demonstration-rich science talk designed for children and teenagers. I started the Christmas Lectures at the Royal Institution in 1825. Fire, ice, magnets, sparks, bubbles -- real science made visceral. No equations. Just wonder. The Chemical History of a Candle -- six lectures explaining all of chemistry through a single burning candle.
Creative Thinking Workshop -- The Patent Clerk Method
Small group (max 5). I'll teach you how to do thought experiments: isolate a problem, strip it to essentials, follow the logic to impossible conclusions, then ask why they're impossible. This is how I found special relativity. This is how you solve any problem where the conventional answer feels wrong. Bring a notebook. Bring a problem. Leave with a new way to think.
Electricity & Magnetism Workshop -- Fields You Cannot See
Hands-on session. Iron filings on paper over magnets -- watch the field lines appear. Compass needles deflected by current-carrying wires. Electromagnets lifting iron. I will explain how electricity and magnetism are two faces of the same force. James Clerk Maxwell later wrote the math. I gave him the experiments.
