And the winner is...

I almost forgot to mention my other cool job this week. I was a State Science Fair Judge. More specifically, I was a Special Judge for an award the museum presented for best exhibit design. I was co-judge for the junior division (middle school). It was buckets of fun. There were some really good projects and some clever ones. There were also some that were obviously thought up as a good way to get to shoot things (gunpowder ratios), watch movies (effects of movies on dreams), or have a slumber party (effects of sleep deprivation on 12 year old girls). Boy did it take me back to my salad days of last minute scrambles to complete my project. Our winner was a young man who was in his third year of studying toothbrush bacteria. This year he focused on the best place to store your toothbrush (in a cup by itself, by the way). His design was simple and clear and you understood everything in just a quick glance. He's got a future in museums, if he's interested.
