CURRENT MISSION

To understand it all...and then eat it.

ABOUT ME

Laid back, friendly, slightly insane in a healthy way. Currently a Neuroscience PhD candidate trying to figure out the brain and how we do things.

PHILOSOPHY

(And now for the wanky stuff!)...developing further with insight, understanding and empathy - people, things, places, ideas. Seeing things as they really are without my self getting in the way, etc. etc.

Teach, Learn, Share
