I am an art fanatic (but not an artist!) with a great appreciation for impressionism and could easily spend all day in art galleries and museums. On the other spectrum, I'm fascinated by all things molecular and wouldn't mind telling you about bacteriophages if you're eager to learn. I'm a big fan of card and board games, if that's something you're into!
