Brief Biographical Sketch:

Grace is a still-living MIT sophomore who will never be the rich, boring consultant engineer she wants to be because of the bizzarely scattered nature of her talents and interests. One day she will find a job involving oceanography, scenic painting, slime molds, special relativity, making hot chocolate, sonoluminescent cavitation, poi-spinning, Shakespeare and setting things on fire and will be truly happy. Until then she'll just meander through life and help teach for Splash.
