2/15, Wednesday. Openning reception of
Design in Motherhood at Gate's Discovery center.
Music, food platters (a lot of food), drink (no alcohol). Quite a large turn-out.
The actual "keynote" talks are not really worth listening to.
However, the exhibition is worth a walk-through.
This exhibit will be here till the end of this year before moving to another location.

Over 200 objects related to birthing, mothering, menstration, baby care products, maternity clothing.
Some interesting old gadgets. I cannot understand how this heavy breast pump of 1957 would work.
This panel diagram lists the maternity leave (in weeks) in various countries.
Washington state isn't too bad.
