About Me

as sad as it is, my life is really defined by the fact that i'm a grad student in unc's behavioral neuroscience grad program. instead of books, i read neuroscience journal articles. instead of vacation, i go to conferences. instead of taking a walk in the sunlight, i spend my days in a basement laboratory. but, it's also what i love. so no complaints.
