I was (and remain) fascinated by the molecular underpinnings of the mind.

My graduate research, as a result, focused on molecular neurobiology. I used to study the neurons from a small region the brain called the cerebellum, and how the 3D organization of their DNA change and influenced their development.

Think of it as a complex 3D puzzle. I have one sitting on my desk as a reminder.

The scientific process I lived as a scientist is, fundamentally, a tool to search for truth. Over time, I felt these skills were better put to use in a different field.
