I need your HELP!
About Me
I work really hard at failure, and often succeed. Here is my failed website. Here are some failure articles I wrote for my college newspaper. No one has interest in publishing my failed science, which is why I find the possibilities of this site so intriguing.
Plasticity is my game. I used to be interested in how neuromodulators (acetylcholine) gate experience-dependent plasticity on a systems level (cortical map reorganization). That project failed. Now I'm hard at work investigating synaptic plasticity in the motor cortex following skilled motor learning. It's a very exciting and promising study, but I'm pretty sure I know how it will turn out.
In my 30 or so years on this planet, I've learned one thing about the meaning of life.
I have an unhealthy obsession with football, especially for a grad student, and especially since the extent of my participation in the sport is the intramural sports league at UC San Diego. But, hey, it is the closest thing we've got to a football team on campus.
What's currently ailing me? strained calf
pulled hamstring
sprained wrist

healthy!!!...for now
While extremely rare, sometimes I feel like this
