About Me

I'm not listed as accepting guests, but that's just because it's unsustainable in NYC (20 requests/day!). If you send me a message and make it clear you've read my profile, I may be able to host :)

CURRENT MISSION

I scienced all over the world and I'm trying to clean it up.

PHILOSOPHY

I aspire to exist halfway in between Winnie the Pooh and Calvin and Hobbes.
