Sally Applin has joined the Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Scientists (LFHCfS). She says:
I am an anthropologist who examines autonomous vehicles, robots, drones, retail scripts and processes, drones, the IoT, etc. in the context of preserving human agency. My dissertation focused on small independent fringe new technology makers in Silicon Valley, what they are making, and most critically, how the adoption of the outcomes of their efforts impact society and culture locally, and/or globally. During this process, I grew my hair. This photo shows research, write-up, and defense hair growth. Remarkably, it did not turn entirely grey during this process.
