About Me

"It was possible there were dark and terrible struggles among molecular biologists, but Bruno doubted it."
-Michel Houellebecq, from The Elementary Particles

My associates inform me that soon we shall be able to repair DNA in any object, even objects that do not contain DNA, such as rocks. My latest manifesto, "Implementing Photoproduct Excision Enzymes in Feldspar," is undergoing peer review at some of the world's finest journals.

This page instructs me to edit my personality. Accordingly, I delete jocularity, italicize complicity, and add the following: second-degree harmonics of lying, rapier wit, and melba toast.

I am duly fucking around, but it is only so long before it becomes unbearable
