Happy Father's Day!

 

I recently spent more time thinking about my livery. The color typically associated with Parkinson’s disease is gray, which some have associated with the gray matter of the brain. I am aiming for a more uplifting image. Back in 1980, a Dutch horticulturalist named J.W.S. Van der Wereld, who was living with Parkinson’s, developed a new red and white variant of the tulip. He named his newly cultivated flower the Dr. James Parkinson tulip in honor of the surgeon who first documented the features of Parkinson’s disease in his 1817 publication An Essay on the Shaking Palsy. I am dedicating my livery to Mr. Van der Wereld while still sporting gray ribbons.

About Me

wmremove-transformed (3) (1)_edited.jpg

Hi! My name is Maya Brandt, and I am a senior at Trinity School of Durham and Chapel Hill. I love cars, robots, and horses! When I'm not at the track or in the lab with my FTC robotics team, you'll probably find me at the barn, on the ski slopes, or reading a book. My favorite book is The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.
