about me
I'm basically a nerd- I can talk science forever and I love what I do but I have a life outside lab. I like to go see indie rock shows, go dancing and go camping. I can be serious, silly, or sexy. I appreciate life and love new experiences. I love to learn. I'm independent. I talk a lot. I smile a lot. I know how to have a good time. I'm very direct. I can laugh at myself. I can tell you a lot about monkeys, mice, and molecular evolution.

My Blog

So perhaps some of you have noticed I haven't been around much lately. I have been focusing on work since the last burn - and it has paid off rather well. I'm finishing my PhD July 2nd, leaving SD permanently right after the burn, moving to Boston for 6 months for some extra experiments with my advisor (who moved to Harvard) then moving to Plön (N. Germany) for my post-doc in Jan/Feb.

I'm very much looking forward to no longer being a student! Living in Europe! Being completely fluent i... read more

It seems the end is in sight - I should be finishing my PhD in about a year then will be leaving SD and starting a post-doc somewhere (right now top candidate is a lab in Madison, WI - changes weekly though). Over the past few weeks, I've decided I want to travel for 3 - 9 months after I finish - probably taking off 9/07 after the burn. I feel like I need to write about the idea now to make it real so I'll do it - 'cause it's slightly scary since I don't have the money and will be taking ou... read more

We just did a little photo shoot in lab for new pictures for the website, thought I'd share this one as it's so horribly nerdy. If only looking like I'm working hard actually accomplished something! In truth, I've been staring at the computer all day working on one stinking figure (and procrastinating by hangin' out on tribe!).

Okay, so this is my first ever blog and it's super-negative which is pretty lame but I need to vent - I went to Trader Joe's last night and on the way in I ran into my psychotic ex-roommate, who I lived with for 5 weeks 3 years ago - it's a long dramatic story but involved courts, cops, and moving out with one day's notice. So I see him and just keep walking but as I'm about to walk in the store he comes back and says "fuck you bitch", I say "you came back to say that?" - he said yes and I j... read more

Bright, silly, bubbly, chatty, and all around girly goodness = Leslie. Thanks for being your kind, sweet self and turning out to be an amazing friend. Sewing is so much more fun when were doing it together. I look forward to our future adventures together.

Leslie's got more wigs than Dolly Parton, and more costumes than Elton John. She's the master of looking fabulously freaky in new and different ways, and knows how to use a staple gun, which is always important in our line of business!
