Hamilton’s fundamental misunderstanding about the nature of duels gets me every time ….

Hi, everyone ! My name is Marissa. I’m a quilter who also just happens to be a vascular surgeon. I make a lot of #sciart - like this aorta quilt I keep in my office. I love EPP, coffee, and making things fit together when it looks like they won’t. ❤️🥰😷 #quiltsky #medsky

The closest known black hole to Earth is just 1,560 light-years away.
