Word Clouds

Module 1:
Asked to introduce myself in a word cloud, I say: 
 I am in transition between microbial research and teaching, having stopped to birth two children along the way. I do volunteer work and constantly have lofty academic ideas bouncing around in my head. Crafting helps me to keep grounded. 


Wordle: Dom in a Wordle

This is a wordle. Creating word clouds with wordle requires a bit of imagination, or a bit of text. I entered words that describe me into the "paste a bunch of words" box. Words I wanted to emphaSIZE, I typed multiple times as the size ratio is dependent on the ratio of the occurrence of one word to another. I also tried cutting and pasting in words from a website to determine what the author's emphasis had been.


Reflection: To come.
