Hi my name is Ed Burrrows. Look at my 8 crab claws. If you ever want to fight me, just remember this: my ribosomes are efficient, my glycoproteins impregnable, and my nuclear membranes impenetrable. Therefore, my cells will die on their own before you have a chance to fight me.
AHEM.....what are you doing with all of my text without referencing me? This is plagiarism!!! I have many very high powered lawyer friends who would agree with me.... I flunked students for this infraction......umm umm umm .... On Monday you must stand in the corner for a few hours.....
I have three beautiful children and a wonderful husband who is a cell biologist and patent agent. My hobbies include computer programming, movies and music. The truth is, I have far too many hobbies to list here! I play violin as more than a hobby, but less than a profession. I love exotic animals and my alter ego would be a zoo veterinarian. I enjoy the athletics I can still do such as rollerblading and weight training. My tastes in music are eclectic and all-encompassing, ranging from electronica ambient to classical to heavy metal to pop/rap. My tastes in movies are similarly eclectic and all-encompassing ranging from oldie B/W films to campy B movies to foreign films to popular culture. I like to think that instead of preferring one type of something, I enjoy variety. I occasionally relax by woodworking and I also enjoy sewing, although these are hobbies that are currently 'in the freezer'. Photography is another passion of mine and I have several published photos including author photos for published books. Although digital photography is great and has pretty much replaced darkroom photography, it's still fun to play around with negatives in a well-stocked darkroom. Bookstores and electronics/computer stores are weaknesses of mine. My family owns an undetermined number of books, VCR-taped movies, DVDs, music CDs and even vinyl. What to do with all that media.....
Although I have a million and one interests, my passion has always been Science. I knew from a very young age that I wanted to be an 'inventor' of some sort, took a side road as a Vet technician in High School, but then realized in college that my true dream was to become an academic scientist.
