I went to school to be an astrophysicist. Did real science alongside the best in the field on the way, but I left the field after my first degree. I just couldn’t bear the thought of getting so narrowly focused like I saw so many of them — I wanted to learn all the things!

Now I find myself a hired gun software developer, helping others solve their hard problems. Today that means I’m reading research papers in Nature concerning direct DNA manipulation. I miss physics some days, but I do get to learn all the things now!
