I recently finished my PhD at the University of Toronto in plant biology. I'm taking some time off to travel before I start a job. I like trying new food and drinks, making art, salsa dancing, and snorkeling. I didn't have much time to do those hobbies throughout my PhD, but I'm looking forward to getting back into them now.
