Yeah, Mom's awesome. Maybe we should call her.

About Me

I consider Minneapolis home, but live in Boston (well, Cambridge actually) now with my husband. We moved here for work a bit over 2 years ago. I work in cognitive neuroscience - specifically on fMRI studies of language and memory with people with epilepsy. I'll be starting grad school in the fall -which means we'll be staying in Boston for at least another 5 years. We just bought our first house which should keep us pretty busy this summer and fall in our efforts to rid it of its 1980's renovation - what were they thinking?We'll move back to Minneapolis eventually, but while we're out here we'll continue to enjoy the city and the ocean, although not at the same time because that would be gross.
