I'm off to a nerd fest. A weaving nerd fest to be exact. The Midwest Weavers Conference in Grinell, Iowa is this weekend and nine of us from our weavers guild are going.
The most exciting part is going to be taking a workshop from Anita Luvera Mayer. She is well-known for her fabulous woven garments.
I also get to be in the fashion show with my woven skirt!
I promise I'll post all about it when I get back.

what is cristae?
Cristae ("kris-tee") are the internal compartments formed by the inner membrane of a mitochondrion. (The mitochondria exist in cells and primarily generate energy.) The maximum surface for chemical reactions to occur is within the mitochondria. This allows cellular respiration (aerobic respiration since the mitochondria requires oxygen) to occur.
The cristae greatly increase the surface area on which the reactions take place. If they were absent, the inner membrane would be reduced to a single spherical shape, and with less reaction surface available, the reaction efficiency would be likewise reduced. Therefore, cristae are a necessity for the mitochondria to function efficiently.
