I was born in Seattle, WA and grew up picking blackberries, sailing, and playing the cello on Bainbridge Island. In high school, I became a serious musician and went to Interlochen Arts Academy, where I also studied creative non-fiction writing and read some great science writing - e.g. Godel Escher Bach. This kindled my interest in science, which I've been studying ever since.
