WASHINGTON â Jason Blackson drove across the nationâs capital on a recent Sunday to solve a puzzle.
At work, Blackson, a geneticist, scrutinizes DNA to diagnose cervical cancer. But the puzzle he was searching for at the Palisades Farmerâs Market wouldnât be as complicated. Though he prefers landscapes with lots of color, the choices at the top of one pile were different: a box of doughnuts, cats from around the world and Baby Yoda.
Blackson completes more than 25 jigsaw puzzles each year and was at a D.C. puzzle swap to drop off ones he had conquered â and to find more.
