| 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 love snow. I get that excited little kid feeling every time it starts snowing. Skiing is also one of my favorite hobbies, such that I am always wishing for more snow (although its not working out so well this season...). Check out this cool [http://www.snowcrystals.com/ site] about snow crystals. It's really amazing how beautiful snowflakes are.

| *I was just happily reminded again of the wonderful world of [http://thehub.capcollege.bc.ca/~sstubbs/krofftsite/index.html Sid and Marty Krofft]. I think that the 70's/80's may have been the peak of television.
