I am now living in Los Angeles, and before I moved here, I went shopping for some cups, bowls, and plates at a restaurant-supply store in San Francisco.

I am a science writer and independent museum consultant who is interested in the intersection of art and science. I am also fascinated by the history and philosophy of science. Check this blog for notes and updates about cool art-and-science miscellany.
