May 2008

Come join myself and my spanking new designs at the Spring 2008 Stop and Shop this weekend. Running Fri May 16 5-8, Sat May 17 10-6, and Sun May 18 10-5 at the Transalta Arts barns (behind the Strathcona farmer's market). It's a great indie show with lots of cool designers and neat things...plus it's lisenced!

Featured microbe:
Malaria. It's that dreaded blood illness transmitted by mosquitos. Within 30 minutes it is hidden away inside hepatocytes (liver cells), then releases into the bloodstream to enter red blood cells. Once in the blood cells they grow, replicate and then explode the blood cell. The destruction on RBCs is the reason malaria can lead to anemia (low iron levels).
