I graduated from UG in 2015 & worked various jobs the last 6 years, always saying I’d go back to school eventually. Today I proposed my Master’s thesis project, launching me into the next/final year of the program. Just taking this moment to feel proud of what I’ve accomplished.

I am 1/4 Ukrainian. Here’s a story relevant to today’s disaster. In 1976 I traveled to Moscow in a 6-person U.S. delegation to an ocean science conference, 1 of the early ‘safe exchanges’ (athletes & scientists) in the thaw of in relations between the U.S. & the USSR.
