What she does when she is not doing science: Looks for creative outlets: photography, scrapbooking, writing, painting, alpha-getti; listens to Jay and The Excitement Gang jam in her basement; babies her cat; watches movies to trick her brain (e.g., Usual Suspects, Memento); and occasionally sets foot outside the house, or does hip-hop or bellydancing, to get some exercise.
Favorite Quote: From "IF" by Rudyard Kipling, "...meet with triumph and disaster and treat those two imposters just the same..."
