I like Patrick a lot. I am not sure how I first met him. I think that it was at some HIV vaccine event in Capitol Hill in late 2010. Patrick says that we only talked during that night, but I thought I had spent a lot of time talking to him since then and […]

I arrived in Seattle on the night of Friday May 13. The weather is wonderful here and I love my city. I find that my life is not so different here as it was in India. I work in front of a computer for part of the day and play for another part. Every day […]

This post has no interesting content at all. It is just a record to help me remember what I learned. On Thursday August 19 Simon and I dropped off the car by driving north through Golden Gate Park, into the Presidio, then west along the waterfront to the return at Fisherman’s Wharf. Simon took me […]

I had been thinking about applying for graduate school for a long time, but I decided I would not apply for admission in fall of 2009. I started questioning myself when I asked for a recommendation from a mentor of mine and he replied by asking me some hard questions about my goals. I’ve got […]
