I enjoy doing outreach and education about electronics with kids.

Me interesa mucho la calidad del aire. Especialmente cuando eso significa que puedo respirar afuera porque no nos están rociando con pesticidas, no hay humo de incendios forestales, ni gases de escape de vehículos ni olores repulsivos. Sin embargo, las razones por las que me importa la calidad del aire son un poco contradictorias. Por un lado, me fascina la calidad del aire porque me encanta trabajar con sensores.
