Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Having a crisis about what to do with the rest of my life!
ABOUT ME
Did some travelling post-uni a while ago. It was great. Been a molecular biologist for the last 8 years. That's been less cool but still worthwhile. I dabble in a lot of stuff, most recently in ninja warrior training!
PHILOSOPHY
No fate but the narrative we impose on life's random chaos

Teach, Learn, Share
I know a little about the Adobe programs, and photography. A know a fair amount about rock climbing and home mechanics. Would like to know more about all of the above, also piano. Oh, and I have a degree in molecular biology, so I really ought to know a thing or 2 about that.
