Here is where you can find updates on what yoga I'm doing this week, my dog, and photography skills via my Instagram feed. Scroll down a bit further and find a list of the books I've read, listen to my recently played songs, and read some of the random musings I have that aren't directly science related.

I always stop and smell flowers in a yard I walk by. I think some people will be freaked out by it, but I think a few people will love that I'm appreciating the hard work they put into their garden.

One life on this earth is all we get, it is enough or not enough, and the obvious conclusion would seem to be that at the very least we are fools if we do not live it as fully and bravely and beautifully as we can. - Frederick Buechner

A set back is never a bad thing, it's just a chance for you to surprise yourself.

When I have a hard day, I make sure I walk all the way home from lab (about 2.5 miles). It's a great chance to be outside, clear my head, see some people living their lives, and watch the sun go down.

I need to stretch more frequently. Maybe I'll start stretching every night before bed for five minutes instead of staring at my phone.
