hi everyone,
i'm marina and thanks for sharing!
i work at the public library of science (ask me about parasites! that's a
joke, please don't :() and live in oakland.
my interests in sudoroom are mostly around issues of access, social
justice, collaboration, non-technical, and oakland strength :D
here are the things that i bring to sudoroom:
- unused sewing machine
- 2 wireless routers (this is definitely a need, right?)
- hacked hummus in infinite varieties
- an actively inclusive perspective
- really cool collage materials
- a willingness to help where i can
see you at meetings,
marina
