Hobbies
There's nothing I love more than a beautiful tree. I also love to bike, swim, garden, and cook; I even tried my hand in fishing this year! I rarely have free time, though, as I busy taking care of my two young daughters. I also read a lot on history of science and am very interested in exploring how the public thinks about and interacts with science.
