I am here for Friends

About Me

My main thing is doing cognitive science research and directing my lab at UT. I teach a bit. I travel a bit. Strange things happen to me. For instance, I was abducted by the Russian mob in St. Peterburg. I like work. I like other things. This is compromising.

My Interests

cognitive science, rock, rock climbing, running, getting out about town, getting out of town, leisure class activities, drinks, diplomatic immunity.

I'd like to meet:

Let's be friends.

Music:


Movies:

Very much.

Heroes:

Howard Hughes
