L'Épicurienne

... I'm only here sporadically. Y!A is like 'people watching'; I find it fascinating to see what's going on in people's lives. I try and answer only those questions I have some knowledge about, so you won't see me answering just to get my two points. I also have a tendency to write incredibly long answers. I am a virologist, a photographer and a storm-chaser, and I've recently taken to the skies as a Private Pilot (in training). I refuse to merely exist; I seek to LIVE, free of fear, insecurity or regret. Virology is my passion. I'm currently living in Texas in order to attend UTMB, however I have lived all over the U.S., and will be moving once again to work overseas sometime in the next two years. I welcome all correspondence. I am not here often (free time? What's that?), however I try to check my email daily and will reply to all messages as time permits.
