| I'm a fourth (at least!) generation Marylander who grew up in the happy Washington, D.C. suburb of [http://www.derwood.net/ Derwood]. I began my college career majoring in Biology at [http://www.psu.edu/ Penn State], but after realizing that the bustling metropolis of State College was not for me, I transferred to the [http://www.umd.edu University of Maryland College Park]. When I started at Maryland, I realized that although I support the need for animal research, I don't have the stomach for it. So, I decided to change my major to Chemistry, and threw in a major in Psychology for good measure. While at Maryland, I had the opportunity to work in the Laboratory of Neurochemistry and the Laboratory of General and Comparative Biochemistry at [http://www.nimh.nih.gov/ NIMH] (yes, where the rats are from). I also got my first introduction into the RNA world by working in [http://biophysics.jhu.edu/faculty-pages/woodson.html Sarah Woodson's lab] while she was at Maryland. After four years (yes, that makes it a 5 year plan for college!), I packed up my worldly possessions and headed to sunny So. Cal. to do my graduate work at [http://www.scripps.edu/e_index.html Scripps] with [http://www.scripps.edu/mb/joyce/joycelab.html Jerry Joyce], solidifying my love of the RNA world. Much like [[user:skosuri|Sr]]i, I fell in love with CA. So, after completing my Ph.D. in chemistry (biochemistry, really), I returned to the east coast to work at MIT. In [[Sauer Lab|Bob Sauer's lab]] I have expanded my science into the protein world, but I'm still an RNA girl at heart. When I get the time, I'll put up some of my current research here.

| *I recently got a digital camera and have been messing around with the settings, etc. My cat has been an unwilling participant in the process, but I couldn't resist sharing this pic. Apparently, I still have a bit to learn about red eye reduction, but it works well here. It really highlights her evil side (I think she gets it from her mom...).

| *I have the messiest bench (and desk) in the lab. Paradoxically, I am a tyrant about cleanliness in common lab areas.
