I am very curious about the world around me, and this curiosity fuels my passion for both science and travel. I am grateful that I have inspiring friends and family all over the world. Whether I'm traveling or at home, I often feel like an 'anthropologist on Mars' (Oliver Sacks). I try very hard to be compassionate with humans and other animals, although I admit that I have a tendency to both think and act globally rather than locally. These days, I am trying to remind myself that people remember not what you *did* but how you made them *feel*.
