This is Lorenzo, my dog, striking a ridiculous pose on my couch. A few weeks ago, I told a story about Lorenzo and his bout with heartworm at The Story Collider, a science-themed storytelling event in New York. It was the first time I’ve told a story live on stage and it was both thrilling and terrifying. It was also three days before my wedding, which lent a new level of excitement (read: craziness) to an already big week. Now, the story is available on The Story Collider’s podcast.
