"I find the "toy" to be very valuable in showing PhD chemists and biologists the complexity of trajectories in simple force laws."

Prof. Robert Eisenberg, Physiology & Biophysics, Rush University who taught his students using a sense of wonder: "But gazing through this narrow hole [of my current research] has proven to be rather like looking through a keyhole in a door. The closer you get to it, the further you can see, even glimpsing the horizon (of knowledge) occasionally, even seeing a star or two, when all else seems dark."

"What Ginger teaches us is that belonging isn’t built through mission statements or employee resource groups alone. It comes through an organization’s ability to recognize the lived experiences of exclusion. Her message is consistent: we need to examine belonging not just as a warm, welcoming concept, but through the gritty lens of what it means to be left out."

Cass Cooper, Columnist for CRN at The Channel Co.

“The Nasty Habits bring a party to every performance! This show is for anyone looking to have a good time. They draw a crowd that spans all ages and backgrounds. Dancing, singing, and just a touch of nasty make for the perfect evening of fun. We love having TNH join us for our summer concert series.”
