Please check it out! You can admire her artwork (it's amazing!), read what she has to say about each of the paintings and/or order cards or framed prints, canvas prints, etc.

The last presenter ended her talk with this quote from The Book of Mormon.

At the #byu conference on "For the Benefit of the World" today. Such a diverse set of topics, ranging from solar energy materials (me), to better understanding adults with autism to the affects of single parent homes on world-wide poverty to cellular biology, just to name a few posters near mine.

I just spent half an hour reading election results in my county and across the country. Looks like huge losses for Trump and MAGA pretty much everywhere.
What is this thing I'm feeling?

Update: another student (a guy) asked for a picture. One guy said "that's the best one all day!" (which it wasn't, there are some amazing costumes! but nice of him to say). Two girls sang the Ken song as I walked past, "Anywhere else I'd be a ten". 😂
And BYU photo studio took this picture of me!
