Claire Lamman is a graduate student in astronomy at Harvard University. So, in a short, she's a genius. But she's also humble enough to describe herself as a "procrastibaker" -- someone who bakes in order to avoid assigned work. Lamman's portfolio of culinary work is astonishing.
Each Christmas, Lamman composes a gingerbread masterpiece of an astronomical survey instrument, such as the James Webb Space Telescope and an assortment of her favorite space probes. This year, Lamman made the above model of the Very Large Array, a radio telescope consisting of 28 dishes in the Plains of San Agustin, New Mexico.
I'm impressed with how smooth the domes turned out.

Gingerbread has never been a friend of mine. For decades I have tried to make gingerbread houses with very poor results. I now leave those houses to the experts and to the store bought kits that are easy to assemble. Oh, Target, where were you when I was a kid?
