I'm Vivian Zhong, a senior in course 20 (Biological Engineering), and a lover of all things plants and fantasy. I'm a UROP in the Weng Lab at the Whitehead Institute, where I'm working to elucidate the biosynthetic pathway of resiniferatoxin, a capsaicin (the "spice molecule") analogue. Herein lies a record for posterity of my work for How to Make (Almost) Anything. ## Final Project Progress Report <a href="final_project/final_project.html"><img src="final_project/media/glowing_sting.jpg", title="Final Project"></a> ## Week 2: Laser- and vinyl-cutting <a href="week2/week2.html"><img src="week2/images/chickeninhouse.jpg", title="Week 2"></a> ## Week 3: Milling and soldering a printed circuit board <a href="week3/week3.html"><img src="week3/images/usb_connect_crop.jpg", title="Week 3"></a> ## Week 4: 3D printing and scanning <a href="week4/week4.html"><img src="week4/images/swing_rhino_raft.jpg", title="Week 4"></a> ## Week 5: Electronic design <a href="week5/week5.html"><img src="week5/images/stuffed_board.jpg", title="Week 5"></a> ## Week 6: Make something big with CNC <a href="week6/week6.html"><img src="week6/images/twosides_layout.jpg", title="Week 6"></a> ## Week 7: Embedded programming <a href="week7/week7.html"><img src="week7/images/connected.jpg", title="Week 7"></a> ## Week 8: Molding and casting <a href="week8/week8.html"><img src="week8/images/hydrostone_piece_up.jpg", title="Week 8"></a> ## Week 9: Input devices <a href="week9/week9.html"><img src="week9/images/probe.jpg", title="Week 9"></a>
