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.
Healthcare Leadership -- Fighting Bureaucracy
Small group (max 5). How to reform a system from within. Build alliances, collect irrefutable data, present visually, lobby relentlessly, and never take no from someone who lacks the authority to say yes.
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.
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.
Faraday Cage (Demonstration Model, Mesh)
Tabletop Faraday cage -- a wire mesh enclosure that blocks electromagnetic fields. Put a radio inside, close the cage, the signal disappears. Open it, the signal returns. This is why your microwave oven has a mesh screen in the door.
Franklin Stove (Cast Iron, Working Replica)
Cast iron replica of the Pennsylvania Fireplace. More efficient than an open fireplace -- the baffle system circulates warm air into the room instead of up the chimney. I refused to patent it. Some things should be free. The Governor of Pennsylvania offered me a patent; I said no. Heat is a public good.
Bifocal Lens Demonstration & Fitting
I got tired of switching between two pairs of glasses -- one for reading, one for distance. So I cut the lenses in half and combined them. Revolutionary? No. Practical? Enormously. This workshop covers basic optics, lens grinding principles, and why bifocals work. Tip: The best inventions solve annoyances, not emergencies.
Compass (Pocket, Brass -- Like the One That Started It All)
Brass pocket compass. When I was five years old, my father showed me a compass. The needle moved without being touched. Something invisible was acting on it. That moment -- the mystery of the invisible force -- started everything. Give this to a curious child and watch what happens.
Self-Education Mentoring -- The Bookbinder Path
One-on-one mentoring for anyone without a formal science education who wants to learn. I had no degree, no university, no connections. I had a library and a willingness to work harder than anyone in the room. I will help you build a self-study plan and find your Humphry Davy -- the person who opens the first door.
Lead Type Set (Textura Blackletter, Complete Alphabet)
Complete alphabet in Textura blackletter -- the typeface of the Gutenberg Bible. Upper and lower case, numbers, punctuation. Cast in traditional type metal (lead-tin-antimony). Each piece hand-finished. Handle with care; lead is toxic. Wash your hands after use. I didn't know that part.
