How I spend My Days:
"Oh, you know, the usual. Bowl. Drive around. The occasional acid flashback." Well, actually, I’m a lousy Bowler, I don't like to drive around and I've never had an acid flashback. I'm a neuroscientist.

Last 20 Years in a Nutshell:
Bounced back and forth between the coasts, North Carolina, San Diego (where I tried to learn to surf), Connecticut and finally to San Francisco for the past 11 years. Got a PhD in Neuroscience in 1997. Have a faculty position in neurology at UCSF. Got married, had a kid, got a house, and I'm having an absolute blast.

High School Memories:
Leifblad’s Facing your Future—sorry, I can’t say it helped very much...the day John Lennon got shot...the day Marvin Gaye got shot...the day Ronald Reagan got shot...the day JFK got, no wait, never mind...
