Get to know me

If you weren’t doing science, what would you be doing instead?

I’d like to try my hand at being a DJ or music producer. I’ve always loved music, and I have a habit of complaining about the DJs at bars and clubs — so trying it myself seems like an interesting alternative career path!

What’s the weirdest or funniest thing that has ever happened to you in a lab?

At a previous workplace, the server once overheated and triggered its emergency cooling system. Curious about the strange noises coming from the server room, we opened the door only to discover a shower of ice cubes raining down from the ceiling. Apparently, that was the system’s method of rapid cooling!

Which scientific mystery would you love to see solved in your lifetime?

Teleportation. How can it be done? And if I teleport somewhere, is it really me that arrives or just a clone? If so, what happened to the old me? o_o
