Alice is my middle name: :o) This is how I think things should be: :o) I study environmental sciences, and will be using my degrees to solve some of the problems of the world: environmental, cultural, and political.

If you want to know about me, check out the blog about what I've been up to.But in the meantime, here are my plans. During this summer I am again working at the world renown Woods Hole Marine Biological Laboratory. Last year I spent my summer helping end world hunger through creating sustainable fish tank prototypes for Haiti, living on a 128 foot tall schooner sailing 800 miles of the Gulf of Maine studying cetaceans and marine mammals in their natural habitat, and helping Raquel Sussman with her research to find a preventative cure for cancer. This year I returned to the laboratory, not as an intern, but as Raquel Sussman's personal assistant. By the end of the summer, and under Raquel's instructions, I will be the first person to determine the cellular point of embryological developmental at which mitochondria divide in zebrafish. This has never been done before, and has huge implications within the science community for determining the earliest stage in human embryological development where potentials for disease, carcinogen risk, genetic defection, and chemical imbalance can be detected, as well as many other important uses. But I still go to raves. I still stick my hands in the dogfish tank at work to pet the sharks swimming by. I still bartend. I hope to go to Thailand to visit friends this spring. I like boys who make funny noises. I saw the glass slides of all the parasites in raw fish, and immediately went out for sushi with my classmates. In fact, I used to be a sushi chef and it's my favorite food, consisting 90% of my diet. By the end of the summer, I hope to have a school of glow in the dark fish that I have transfected with bioluminescent plasmids containing artificial codes of DNA. Although I hate working with the glass needles in the laboratory, needles freak me out. (Don't worry, transfection doesn't hurt fish, they are only a cluster of cells at that point.) I have an associate degree in psychology and am working on a degree in biology. I am a part of LEAF. I play five instruments. I read. I think for myself. I don't know exactly where I'm going, but people will damn well remember where I've been.Haha I found this on the net: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=DorothyPretty Accurate:
