Yeah, I wanted to go and learn more shit, didn’t matter what (and my parents didn’t care either), I just wanted to learn more. Eventually landed on biology and got a BS. I still wanted to learn more so I got a PhD in biology. I’m a postdoc now and still learning and discovering cool things.

Relative to my qualification i’m paid like shit and nothing about my position is permanent, so it’s stressful. I love my job though, and don’t regret my path through higher ed…except maybe that I’d like to have learned skills to be able to fix my own car.

You forgot the part where you step on the rake in different ways to see which one whacks you in the face the fastest.

Japanese and Mexican for the sake of the question. It’s what I grew up eating, and I hate the idea of being without my familiar comfort foods.

Truthfully though, I love eating too much to limit myself regionally or to just two countries. There’s so much I haven’t tried.

All of Francoise Hardy’s album Soleil. Absolutely lovely singing voice.
