Neuroscience & Me

Hello! This is my final project for my Neuroscience class. This is all my own work so please don’t copy it. Some of the links and works cited may not work because some are link that came from the Canvas site for my class.  Neuroscience & Me Willow V.                           My interest in psychology began when I discovered a show in sixth grade that I’m now obsessed with, “Criminal Minds.” At first, I was mostly interested in criminal and forensic psychology, so I started taking psychology classes and doing research to prepare myself for what I thought I was going to be, a behavioral analyst for the FBI. As I started my journey, I discovered that I actually really enjoy doing research and authoring reports, so now my dream career is to be a psychological researcher. I’m honestly interested in all aspects of psychology, but I want to focus on studying under-represented popu...

Crochet Ear Band




 Hello there! I’m Willow. How are you? I hope you’re well. 

Before we begin, please read my disclaimer policy and my privacy policy . 

Today I will share a pattern for a crochet ear band. Before we start, a few notes. 

Notes: 1. Mine accidentally increased in size as I made it, so I highly suggest you count your stitches after every row to ensure that the size of your ear band doesn’t change. 2. If yours does end up increasing in size like mine, that’s ok! It just means that it can double as a visor, too! 

Materials: since this pattern isn’t stitch-specific (meaning it doesn’t tell you to do a specific stitch number besides turning chains), you can use any yarn and hook you like. I used weight 3 yarn and a 3.0mm hook. You’ll also need something to weave your ends in, so either a tapestry needle, or you can just use your hook if you like, and some scissors  

Row 1: make a chain long enough to fit snugly around your (or whoever the ear band is for) head. 

Row 2: chain 3, double crochet into the fourth stitch from your hook and into every stitch after that. Slip-stitch the ends together. Note: instead of slip-stitching the ends together after every round, you can skip that and sew the ends together once you’re finished. 

Row 3: change colors (if you want), ch3, double crochet into the back loop only of the fourth stitch from your hook and every stitch after. Slip stitch ends together. 

Row 4: change colors, ch3, double crochet into the front loop only of the fourth stitch from your hook and every stitch after. Slip stitch ends together. 

Row 5-9 (you can do more or fewer rows depending on how big you want your ear band): repeat row 3, for the row after, repeat row 4. For the odd number rows, you repeat row 3, for the even rows, repeat row 4. Make sure to alternate between the front loop only and the back loop only in every row. 

Fasten off and weave in your ends. 


Here's how mine looks when you put it on. If you make it right, (as in not making my mistake and accidentally making it increase in size) it can also double as a headband!

Well, that's it for today. Come back soon for more words from Willow. <3

I DID AN INTERNSHIP AT FRED HUTCH!!!!!!!!

 Ok, I have a word limit for this so I'll just give you guys a bit of background info on what this is then I'll get into the post because this post is actually an assignment for the internship.  1.  This  is Fred Hutch  2.  This  is the internship I did  So I  have a few favorite things from this internship, ranging from the scenery to the labs. (Mostly the labs) But the thing I loved the most, were the tours. Seeing the labs and meeting people who work there and what they do is fantastic.  This is from the first tour, a picture of the view from the sky bridge. Yes, a skybridge!  Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of labs when we did tours, but I did get pictures from the labs that we did.  This is from a PCR lab. PCR stands for polymerase chain reaction. It essentially makes a bunch of copies for a specific gene. Copies are made by putting DNA into a thermocycler. Changes in temperature can change the bonds of the DNA, f...

New Years Resolution Inspo

Hello! Happy New Year (if you celebrate)!  Today I'll be sharing some New Years' resolution ideas. Maybe you're out of ideas, think you're doing alright (good for you!), or perhaps you're like me and did not think about resolutions at all and now people are asking you about them and you need to come up with something.  1. Doing more of what you love!  This one's pretty obvious, but I think that you can never spend too much time doing the things you love. Everyone needs things that make them happy, whether it's baking, writing, or dancing.  2. Moving more often  When I say "moving" I mean exercising, but not to change how you look. You should work out for health, better joints, and to be strong in my opinion.  3. Reading more  This has been one of my eternal goals since I knew what goals were. But it's even more important now since we live in such a tech-savvy world. We need to disconnect from the wires, and what better way to do that than to st...
