I am a licensed biochemist*, but I practice molecular biology, genetics, genomics, systems biology, computational biology, and synthetic biology without any certification whatsoever, in the risky tradition of antedisciplinary science.
My approach to life and blogging is reflected in the random walk of my educational history: after a B.A. in music, I earned a Ph.D. in the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics at the University of Rochester School of Medicine. Now I’m currently a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Genetics and the Center for Genome Sciences and Systems Biology at the Washington University School of Medicine.

As a pathological bibliophile, I look for every excuse I can to buy, read, and write about books of all sorts, especially sci-fi. To see what’s on my nightstand now, check out my stack.
