Violin (German Make, 1920s, Concert Quality)
My violin. Well, a replica of my favorite one. I named the original Lina. Mozart and Bach -- that's what I play when I'm stuck on a physics problem. The music reorganizes my thinking. If you can play, borrow it. If you can't, I'll give you a beginner lesson. Badly. I'm a better physicist than violinist.
Soil Science Workshop -- Read Your Dirt
Bring a soil sample from your garden. I will teach you to read it: pH, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, organic matter, texture. Your soil tells you what it needs. Most people guess. I measure. Tip: If your soil is dead, nothing you plant will thrive. Feed the soil, not the plant.
Fermentation Science Workshop -- Grapes to Wine to Vinegar
Hands-on. We will ferment grape juice, observe yeast under the microscope, test for alcohol and acetic acid. This is how I started -- wine merchants of Lille asked why their fermentations kept failing. The answer was contaminating microorganisms. Clean your equipment. Always.
Periodic Table Workshop -- Patterns in Nature
Interactive session. We will build the periodic table from scratch using element property cards. Arrange them by weight, notice the patterns, predict the gaps. You will discover what I discovered -- that nature organizes itself. Tip: The table is not arbitrary. It reflects the structure of atoms themselves.
Organ Concert & Music Lesson (Beginner)
I was the organist at the Church of Saint-Nicolas-des-Champs in Paris. I also developed Braille music notation so blind musicians could read scores. This lesson covers basic organ technique and an introduction to reading music by touch.
Microscopy Workshop -- Seeing Germs
Hands-on microscopy. Prepare slides, stain bacteria, observe microorganisms that cause infection. My father improved the microscope lens. I used the improved microscope to see what was killing surgical patients. One generation builds the tool, the next uses it.
Chemistry Tutoring -- Elements, Compounds & Reactions
One-on-one tutoring from the man who organized all of chemistry. I will teach you how elements combine, why some react violently and others are inert, and how the periodic table predicts it all. Bring your textbook questions. I wrote the textbook that started it all.
Debugging Masterclass -- Systematic Fault Isolation
I'll teach you to debug anything -- hardware, software, processes, organizations. The method is the same: isolate, measure, hypothesize, test. Stop guessing. Start measuring. And tape the bug into the logbook when you find it.
