Bio
Former science geek who foundered on the shoals of Organic Chemistry 101 and washed up on the shores of Philosophy in her undergraduate years, then found her way back to science via medical writing. Bisexual, (technically) binational, but not bicoastal or bipolar, and an unregenerate unreformed punster (bi the way). Feminist, humanist, word nerd (but not a grammar geek, alas), OpenSalon.com-addicted reader and frequent commentator trying to work up the courage to post. And, for the record, nonprofit when it comes to this site.
