Reviews
Wise people always say, “Never be the smartest person in the room,” so we’ve got that covered!! I’m not an industry expert.

The blogs blend humor, storytelling, and insightful commentary to make complex topics approachable. I attend events and document what is said (and not said).
“What they said” is written in WHITE and “what I’m thinking” in PINK/PURPLE. You can read the full blog, just the white, or just the pink. Boom!
Growing Mammalian Cells, Drugs, and Vaccines in Shakers? A Mini Conference
TLDR: A highly technical biotech mini-conference about shaking incubator technology for growing mammalian cells, covering oxygen transfer rates, vessel geometry, and cell cultivation -- way over the author's head but attended with good humor and a free laptop bag.
KT’s Favorite Showdown + The Most Unique Event Yet
TLDR: A double-header weekend starting with Kelly's favorite annual event -- the NW Garden Show's live Container Showdown competition -- followed by a "Mix and Manifest" wellness event featuring dance-offs, yoga, sound baths, caprese salads nobody recognized, and a teenager who didn't know what "self-care" meant.
First Day Remote Viewing Training + Week of Wonder
TLDR: Kelly documents her first week of intentional spiritual practices including fasting, tarot, meditation, dream journaling, and remote viewing exercises where she draws images before revealing target photos, exploring intuition and metaphysical experiences.
Hailing Hinds’ Feet Post-Dancing with Depends
TLDR: A deeply personal reflection post covering Kelly's refocused mission on financial literacy, child protection, and MOASS advocacy, alongside vague but emotional references to crossing national borders and a stay in a mental health facility where she found healing through vulnerability, dance parties, and structured care.
Pain on Purpose: Does Big Pharma Endorse Evasive Discomfort to Instrument Industry Compliance?
TLDR: Kelly attends a pharma industry awards dinner and grows suspicious of the event's design -- excessive wine, emotionally heavy speeches about rare diseases, and an award recipient who thanks his FDA "wording team" -- questioning whether the setup is engineered to manufacture compliance.
Entrepreneurial Energy Preservation for Mental Athletes + Ai for Marketing (EWD4)
TLDR: A full-day event covering startup pitching, burnout prevention, AI-powered marketing tools, and entrepreneurial habits like hydration, authenticity, and compounding small efforts for long-term business success.
Flustered with Finance + Neurodivergency (E. Week, Day 3)
TLDR: A double-feature day where Kelly passionately challenges a financial influencer's ETF-heavy advice as systemically harmful to retail investors, followed by an empowering neurodivergency workshop exploring empathy types, sensory experiences, and self-advocacy.
Aging in the Age of Today
TLDR: A lunch-and-learn on aging research featuring a scientist studying frailty in mice, covering topics like sex differences in aging, biomarkers, cloning, metabolomics, and the discovery that anti-aging compounds may exist in mushrooms and even bugs.
Flow Friday Night Experience, 2024
TLDR: A four-hour Friday night wellness event combining improv dance, qigong, breathwork, local vendors, live music, a dragon light performance, and a closing sound bath, which Kelly rated nearly perfect across the board as a healthy full-body reset experience.
Navigating Clinical Data to Avoid Insider Trading Illegally Lunch and Learn
TLDR: A lunch-and-learn panel on how biotech and pharma companies can strategically share clinical trial data without crossing into insider trading territory, covering blackout periods, SEC/FINRA compliance, selective disclosure rules, and the importance of documenting who knows what and when.
