Who is Ian Palk?!
I am a senior at Harvard College studying Earth and Planetary Sciences with a secondary in Integrative Biology and living in Leverett House, and I am from the DMV area, but I now live in Ohio. At Harvard, I am super involved in the Harvard Geological Society, the Quadball team, and our radio station (WHRB), as well as spending time thesising, with my friends, and enjoying second semester senior year. Coming into this class, I have some experience with tinkering and fixing lots of broken things around the house, but I have no formal training on any of the topics we are covering outside of YouTube Academy. I am really looking forward to having access to this maker space and all the people and resources that this class offers! I hope that I get to know more of you as the semester goes on :)
