He spent his 1st year in college at Amherst College where he majored in both physics and music, but then grew tired of music theory, not to mention Amherst itself, so transferred.
He plays the piano, cello and recorder; at Harvard he plays cello in every ensemble he possibly can, sometimes at the expense of his grades (incidentally, he will not be able to bring his cello to Edinburgh so if anyone knows where and how he might be able to borrow or rent one while here, he'd be eternally grateful).
His main scientific interests are theoretical particle physics and cosmology. He hates signing email with his actual name. It just seems dull. He likes to climb trees.
<1--broken link That should be enough for now. Anyone who is terribly curious for more can peruse his woefully incomplete homepage at Harvard. -->
