I am currently a postdoctoral research scientist at the University of Michigan doing some pretty cool research on the potential environmental and human health risks of carbon nanotubes. I lived in Europe most of last year in Finland through a fulbright scholarship and unequivocally recommend for others to take some time living abroad if they have the opportunity; if you are curious to read about my experiences last year, I have a number of e-mail updates on my blog posted on my blog here at Gaia.  I also am really into meditation, spirituality, dancing, developmental psychology, psychotherapy, sustainability, integral theory, and combinations of the above. I try to live a second-tier life for those familiar with AQAL (if you are curious, feel free to ask).
