Q: What are your physics/science interests?
A: Right now I'm most interested in Condensed Matter physics, Mathematical Physics, and Atomic/Molecular physics.

Q: What are your other interests?
A: Linguistics, blogs (reading them--not writing them!), and reading books if I have time. I also love ballet, hiking, and skiing.

Q: What would you like to do after college?
A: I'd like to go to grad school for physics and probably become a professor. I just really like school...

Q: Tell us one strange but interesting fact about yourself.
A: I'm pretty good at writing things backwards--so backwards that when you hold them up in a mirror they read perfectly. In high school I once wrote an entire lab report (including graphs) backwards as an April Fool's joke.
