About the Author

After a long day of helping pursue a cure for cancer, Jared Burks, Ph.D., relaxes by custom crafting his own LEGO minifigures. Known online as Kaminoan, he has created thousands of custom minifigs over the last two decades. An assistant professor in Leukemia and co-director of the Flow Cytometry and Cellular Imaging Core facility, Burks oversees expensive equipment shared by researchers around MD Anderson which allow researchers to see, sort and analyze thousands, or even millions, of a person's cells very quickly. But at the end of the day, his idea of relaxing is focusing on something bigger than a cell, like a light saber the size of a toothpick, oOr a pair of goggles smaller than a thumb tack. He's a regular contributor to BrickJournal, the magazine for LEGOŽ enthusiasts.
