I'm a scientist, gamer, and perpetual optimist just to spite the universe.

Things I like to do with my free time include: having picnics on the beach, sharing good tv/movies with friends, playing board games, visiting art galleries and museums, and playing D&D if the stars align.

Currently I'm wrapping up some research on new anti-infective gel products using self-assembling polymers. I love the discovery and creative problem solving of science, and I'm looking for new fields to research in now! I might end up getting a PhD working on cell-scaffolding type stuff . Okay enough science stuff.

I'm also working on my painting, drawing, and writing skills, because I'd really like to put out some kind of comic, even if it's only for my own enjoyment. I have a ton of ideas for stories that I'd like to tell!

-Being silly
-Singing in public

What Beethoven would think about dubstep

Hanging out with friends and playing games where we all die in a fire or get eaten by eldritch horrors. Sometimes accompanied by Rock Band and alcohol.

I recently discovered that I may be gay for Carl Sagan. I have a feeling this is something many people have to deal with, though.

You want to grab a beer, play board games, talk science, or visit a museum
