CURRENT MISSION

Heading to Portugal and Croatia in July 2011!

ABOUT ME

I'm a science journalist by day, a musician by night. I'm laid back, friendly, adventurous, and comfortable in lots of different situations.

PHILOSOPHY

You only live once, so get it while you can.

Interessen

Indie Radio, music, science, armchair philosophy, climbing rocks, cooking you dinner, fresh herbs, wondering the collective fate of all living things. I also fly airplanes and save kittens.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Seeing the earth from 5000 feet while flying a small plane. Hiking in Patagonia. Parading in New Orleans. Interviewing Nobel Prize-winning physicists. Seeing the places that inspired the Icelandic Sagas. Hearing every mosque in Fez, Morocco start their call to prayer at 4 am. Also - Staying in your town!

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I will cook you an amazing dinner. Or teach you how to build a synthesizer. Or maybe how to play the banjo.
