I'm not much of a romantic, I guess. I'm content to be wherever I am, so long as there's good food, interesting things to do, and good people to be around. In that order, probably.
There are a lot of things that interest me. I love books, and the arts generally, and I've consumed a great deal of history in pursuit of answering whether we as society are really getting anywhere (side note: if we are, it's nowhere fast). But while humanities are fun, well.. learning how a set of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen atoms come together to produce complex new structures which get taken apart and put together all by doing nothing but taking advantage of laws of the universe.. it lights a different kind of fire.
I own a lot of nice socks.

I would want to be an MMA fighter
I got interested in chemical and biological engineering because I thought I wanted to be a doctor, but then realized that I was more interested in making the medicine than prescribing the medicine. I wanted to become a pharmaceutical engineer because the world needs cures for countless diseases and I want to be a part of that.
I’m undefeated in Muay Thai and I’m in love with Simon

Honestly, I'd probably still be tinkering away in the lab. Maybe a little bit of gardening and back country camping to keep myself sane...
I had always been fascinated by complex systems and their behavior. This interest was accentuated by the interaction networks observed in cellular biology. Thinking about the potential applications of modern biotechnology is absolutely exhilarating!
I hitchhiked from Colorado to California and back when I was 17 years old.
