Done Construction Wraps Up Seminar for Year

We had our last Home Repair Seminar of the year with our friends from Done Construction today. They started us off with a delicious Mediterranean lunch followed by a Conversation with their special guest Harry Zhong, Group Project Manager at Stanley Black & Decker. He talked about his education in engineering that led him to product design and improvement. Harry works very closely with the folks from Done who give feedback on their tools including working with prototypes in progress.

The seminar wrapped up with the folks from Done talking about their favorite tools. The students talked bout their favorite home repair seminars this year and Done sharing ideas about next year.

We are so appreciative of all the folks from Done Construction – Beth, Sarah Senior, Catesby, Sarah Junior, and Kristin – for some great seminars this year! thanks as well to Harry Zhong for coming in today.

Conversation with Dr. Paul Sack

Our thanks to Dr. Paul Sack, Head of the Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism at Medstar Union Memorial Hospital for coming in for a “Conversation with…” today. He shared about his early interest in medicine and the path that led him to his career before speaking about the endocrine system and answering the students’ many questions from their studies.

Dr. Sack was very generous with his time and his easy and open manner made the scientific subject very accessible to all.
