I'm a scientist, photographer and cyclist living in Berkeley, CA.
Extracurricular
I have a flickr feed that I try to update semi-regularly. I spend more time than I should on photography sites like Photojojo and Strobist. (Read more about my photos.)
I make kites out of trash bags, originally inspired by the garbasail page on Urban Dictionary. Most are fairly small designs, but on one occasion I made a full-size garbasail with the help of several friends and many rolls of duct tape.
Science communication
I'm interested in new ways to communicate about science, from visual media to journalism and public speaking. For several years, I was a writer and web editor for the Berkeley Science Review, a grad-student-run publication covering science and policy topics at UC Berkeley.
Articles I have written for the BSR, by issue: 16, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10.
