About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet new people visiting Berkeley and Oakland!

ABOUT ME

I worked in a research lab for a while and loved it. Teachers are an important part of a student's development, and I want to help minimize the achievement gap. I'm also interested in academic publishing models and the Future of Research and Communication and e-Scholarship. Accessibility is key: http://hexxiiiz.com/FOS

PHILOSOPHY

Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is the present.

Music, Movies, and Books

The Jerk (Steve Martin is amazing)

I like all types of music to enhance my mood.

Luigi Pirandello has a fascinating philosophy, so I have read of few of his books. Right now, travel books are crowding my bookshelves :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Worked in a prison one summer...on Alcatraz. OK so it's not an occupied prison, but it was still amazing!
