Me in Three
- I live by E.M. Forster's immortal words: "only connect". I believe that in bridging boundaries and trying to understand otherwise alien perspectives can we truly make progress in the world. I believe that all of humanity is capable of sharing a common bond.
- I care deeply about the power and the potential of the life sciences. I believe that no matter what you do in the next twenty years, be it technology or science or art or ethics or education, advances in biology will affect your lives tremendously. I have been fascinated all my life by microbes (ergo, my possession of an ever-growing GiantMicrobe collection) - and am increasingly awed by the promise of regenerative medicine.
- I am an inveterate traveler. I have lived for more than a year in four countries, and am always torn by the question "Where are you from?". I am always game to try new foods and check out new places, and I could always use a good tip!
