| Website: | noosphere |
| Bio: | Time to change the bio. Well, here's the basic bit: I'm a graduate student in cognitive neuroscience at Princeton University; my advisors are Dan Osherson and Ken Norman. That's about 90% of my non-sleeping life. In the other 10%, I'm a writer, reader, gym rat, coffee fiend, boyfriend, cook, housecleaner, small-time home-improver, temporary TV-on-DVD obsessor, Internet bullshitter, and student of Chinese.
It'd be nice to push the balance to 80-20, but I guess you can't have everything. |
