Info
I'm a hiker, climber, dancer and science geek for hire, in beautiful Boulder CO
I've got my PhD in Physics but don't really do "real" physics anymore -- I use my degree to let me do cool fun stuff.

My rough timeline was BA in Psychology (Bard College), 2 years futzing around in SF, 2 years in Peace Corps in West Africa, 6 years in PhD program in Physics in Santa Cruz (during which I did an internship at NPR in DC), 2 years at Exploratorium in San Francisco, and now I'm in Boulder at the physics
