“Most people probably wouldn’t say this, but I love hospitals,” says Lane Konkel. As a child growing up in Wisconsin, the 26-year-old lean manufacturing engineer would accompany her father, an orthopedic surgeon, to his office. “I’d play around with the little models of the knee and pull on the ligaments or I’d visit patients post surgery.

Home to the Valley of the Muses, Greece’s Mount Helicon has been hailed by Ovid and Hesiod as the font of inspiration and poetry. But today, the plains between Helicon’s foothills and the cool blue waters of the Gulf of Corinth are yielding a more prosaic kind of material: aluminum.

Timothy Cheng
December 30, 2016
AS: Back then I didn’t have that many friends who were interested in computers. It was like a big mystery to them.
