Hello Lightning Tamers!

You've probably heard it said "Vacuum don't suck" and continued on your day without a second thought.  I often come back to statements like this with questions like this, the video I'm sharing with you today "Does Vaccuum suck?" 

Hello Lighting Tamers!

For those of you who couldn't make the lecture! Fear not, for I have recorded the entire talk, including the Q&A at the end. This lecture is not a replacement for watching the series and discussion with the plasma community, but if you want to hear my story and a quick overview on creating a vessel for plasma and testing the waters by working with collaborators then have at it. You might find yourself wanting to watch the Series!

You know I feel really good about this talk. I don't do them very often, and it's good to finally be able to get questions beyond the "How do you do plasma?". I believe the Intro to plasma series with GEEX has definitely helped me organize and share some fundamental thoughts on plasma, in which 4 years ago would have been impossible for me to imagine explaining or even talk about.

Thank you for watching,

Hello, lightning tamers!

In this new collaboration with GEEX, Ben Orozco and I are producing a 4-part series for people new to the plasma process, introducing elements of plasma in an easy-to-apply format and touching on my journey as a self-starter and alchemist. Podcast episodes will premiere every other monthly, on every third Thursday, with the next chapter released in December.

Stay tuned, I'm inspired to make intermediate podcast to follow up questions or topics I feel need to expressed before moving to the next chapter!

Stay curious,
