Brief Biographical Sketch:
I have a B.A. in psychology from the University of New Hampshire, and am working towards a PhD in cognitive neuroscience at Brandeis University. I'm an intellectual packrat, with a wide range of interest, and a tendency to be easily distracted by shiny and new ideas. So, I minored in mathematics, I work at a science museum teaching informal marine bio to kids and adults, I read a lot, I knit, I like to cook, and I dabble in theatre tech.
