CURRENT MISSION

i want to become a cartoon

ABOUT ME

I'm a freelance science writer and columnist with an interest in neuroscience and a guilty fascination with nuclear physics. I'm currently researching pop culture representations of radioactivity. I also write cartoons about famous scientists, and I knit monsters for people if they ask.

PHILOSOPHY

Cartoons are the basis of all thought.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm about to do a bunch of grad school visiting, and I'd like to have places to sleep while I'm making these visits!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One house I lived in was a huge hub for couch surfers. We had space out the wazoo and got to meet people from all over the world. It gave me a chance to practice my French.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I've spent a lot of time teaching kids how smell works. This is an amazing endeavor.

教，学，和分享

I can teach knitting, some basic bike maintenance, the basics of French, Neuroscience, and Philosophy of Mind. I can bake exquisite vegan feasts, I can help you silkscreen your designs, I can teach some basic cartooning skills, too. Circus tricks I can share, too, such as human blockhead-ing and eating fire.

I'd like to learn whatever you have to share. More bike maintenance, sewing techniques, regional cooking and science are high on my list. Circus tricks are on that list, too.
