About Me

I'm a grad student. I am getting a PhD in biomedical science but don't count on me staying a scientist. I am very interested in interactive media. Flash is the coolest thing since liquid nitrogen. NERD ALERT!
My dog (Sir Echo Buttersworth) has been knighted by the queen, an honor received due to his discoveries in lepidopterology.

I study cancer cells and my research might actually lead to a novel therapy. If I win the Nobel Prize I am going to spend the money on educating the public about science.
My boyfriend has logic and mechanical prowess proving the theory that opposites do attract.
I love music, science, interactive media, biking, and motorcycle racing.

When I was 13, I had my mail sent to Lindsay Yauch because I was certain I would marry MCA of the Beastie Boys. At 14, I used to sell British newspapers to Brian Johnson of AC/DC. At 15, I was charged with a bomb threat at O'Hare airport coming back from London on a school trip. At 16, I got a car with a plastic exterior. At 20, I picked up and moved to Colorado. At 23, I crashed a 50cc scooter in Sorrento, Italy (see photo). Now I am back in Florida trying to understand the organ that allows me to understand things. Life is odd.
Alas... I finally got to see the Beastie Boys in concert this summer:

This is quite funny... no big surprise
You Are 56% Lady
