Stay in School

I am a doctoral student in the physics department at UC Berkeley, working in theoretical neuroscience.

This blog will contain anecdotes about things I am learning (incidentally, I am currently learning about mechanisms underlying the learning process, both in machines, and in biological systems), the process of doing science, and the sorts of things that scientists do when they aren't sciencing (yes, "science" can be a verb!).

Being a grad student is awesome. I get to work on fun things, with a very flexible schedule, while meeting incredibly interesting (and smart!) people. I would strongly recommend it.

That's it for my first (somewhat boring) post. I'm off to Reno with some friends this weekend for the hot air balloon festival.
