Chemistry, music, art, movies, fine beers, cooking vegan vittles, Cameron, and playing with our kitties, Johnny and Vera. I love my life and my family!

About me: I'm a PhD candidate (grad student working on my PhD research) at the University of Washington, studying and doing research in inorganic (more specifically, organometallic) chemistry. What does that mean? I PLAY WITH METALS.
I am getting ready to start brewing my own beer. I am very excited about that, because it combines a lot of things that I fancy-- cooking, science, and BEER. I love beer. *swoon*
I support self-sufficiency, and can't wait to have a garden some day.
I dig all kinds of music-- punk rock, indie rock, metal, electronic, classical, jazz, blues, international, etc. I love scandi HC, crust, death metal and black metal. Other stuff-- I play the violin and I like to make art.
My sister and nieces and nephew brought me back to Seattle-- they are amazing. I have an amazingly kickass husband, too. I really love the outdoors-- hiking, camping, and taking pictures of all things nature-y. Well, I also just like taking pictures. I am a pretty happy person-- life is rad.
