I manage physics and chemistry journals for a not for profit publisher. This means that I work on developing and executing the journal strategy, and as a liaison between our academic editors, researchers, and the publisher. I love it.

I love puns and poop jokes.

Insegna, impara, condividi

I can teach chemistry (I'm best at physical, inorganic, and photochemistry), the basics of most traditional and alternative energy technologies, and a couple basic hoop tricks. I can also teach you that peanut butter on pretty much anything is the world's best food. Especially carrots.

I want to learn: more about gardening and urban gardening, tai chi, new mediation techniques, and new hoop tricks.
