31" by 31" Acrylic painted hardboard, glass crystals, black velvet, metal hardware. I've always had a fascination with spiraling, spinning patterns, from spiral galaxies to the heads of Sunflowers, the spiral seems to be ubiquitous in nature, and spirals in nature actually all correspond (in terms of their rate of spiral) to a specific mathematical formula known as the Fibonocci sequence. The Fibonacci sequence is named after a 13th century mathematician, Leonardo of Pisa, who was known as Fibonacci (a contraction of filius Bonaccio, "son of Bonaccio." Fibonacci's 1202 book Liber Abaci introduced the sequence to Western European mathematics, although the sequence had been previously described in Indian Mathematics. I can't help but relate to the process of human evolution as a spiral, as well. (Though Lord knows, it may look like a flat line).

Hepatitis B Foundation Sponsors May First Friday Doylestown
(Feature Appearance by Doylestown Native and NBC 10 Meteorologist Michelle Grossman)
The Hepatitis B Foundation sponsored the May 2, 2008 First Friday Doylestown in support of National Hepatitis Awareness Month for a third year.
The Foundation’s role in First Friday was to educate local community leaders, educators, business owners and residents that one in 20 individuals in the U.S. has been affected by hepatitis B. That means someone you know and love has been touched by the deadly virus. Hepatitis B Foundation staff and volunteers were on hand to speak to members of the public about their work. The Foundation tent featured Michelle Grossman NBC 10 Weather Plus Meteorologist; local singer/songwriters Christy Jefferson & Band and The Waltons; O’Liver, the Hepatitis B Foundation’s mascot; a display of Cold Spring Elementary School students’ artwork; hepatitis B literature for adults and youth and much more.
For the Foundation, First Friday Doylestown is an evening to educate the public and celebrate the arts. Doylestown establishments stayed open late to exhibit artwork from local artists and to enjoy the sounds of local musicians.
•Celebrity guest, Michelle Grossman NBC 10 Weather Plus Meteorologist
•Opening act performance: The Waltons Band
•Headline performance: Christy Jefferson & Band
The Hepatitis B Foundation is the only national nonprofit organization solely dedicated to finding a cure and improving the quality of life for those affected with hepatitis B worldwide through research, education and patient advocacy. The Foundation is located in the new Pennsylvania Biotechnology Center, which it created to accelerate its research mission. For more information, visit www.hepb.org or call (215) 489-4900.

Fortune Brainstorm Health
May 2-3, 2017: San Diego, CA
At our inaugural Brainstorm HEALTH conference, we focused on the best and brightest ideas in the digital health care revolution. In May, we’ll tackle how to speed up this disruption and seize the benefits now. We’ll dive deeper into what’s working, what’s not—and why? And we’ll drill down into some of the most urgent questions in this domain: How do we get investment into the right areas quickly—and overcome the barriers that stand in the way of progress. Our theme for our second Brainstorm HEALTH event says it all: “Accelerating the Health Revolution.” And yes, we mean to do just that.
Confirmed 2017 speakers include Joseph R. Biden, Jr., 47th Vice President, United States, CEOs Chip Bergh of Levi Strauss & Co. Mark Bertolini of Aetna, Tom Hayes of Tyson Foods, Arianna Huffington of Thrive Global, John Mackey of Whole Foods, Mike McNamara of Flex, Denise Morrison of Campbell Soup, and Timothy Wentworth of Express Scripts, as well as Duke University Surgical Oncologist (and Time 100 honoree) Dr. Shelley Hwang, Tempus Co-founder and Chair Eric Lefkofsky, Stanford University School of Medicine Dean Dr. Lloyd Minor, Venrock Partner Dr. Bryan Roberts, and Human Longevity Co-founder and Executive Chair Dr. J. Craig Venter. They will be joined by our co-chairs—Fortune Editor-in-Chief Clifton Leaf, Time Executive Editor Siobhan O’Connor and Dr. David Agus, one of the world’s most influential physicians.
Fortune Brainstorm HEALTH, in association with IBM Watson Health, will gather not only C-suite leaders of top companies, hospitals, insurers, and cutting-edge pharma and biotech companies, but also titans of venture capital, tech and telecom, and other industries, all of who are rapidly changing the face of health care. The forum will cover four pillars—personal wellness, intervention, research, and the value chain. Our aim is not only to push some boundaries in each of these areas, but also to show how businesses, both established and new, can lead the way. And, yes, as with all of our Brainstorm events, Fortune will disseminate these ideas on our website, in the magazine, on social media, and beyond.
