Beyond Research

Rhythm, water, and time outside the lab.

Music and swimming give my life a different pace — and are an important part of how I work and live.

Music

Drums and live performance

I play drums in a band. Rehearsals and live stages are a practical lesson in listening, timing and working as a group.

Water

Swimming is where I slow down and reset. Open water also offers a direct sense of scale that is difficult to find on land.

Movement

Strength training and climbing give me a direct way to work with patience, movement and incremental progress—one session and one route at a time.

People

Group activities, field days and time with friends are an important counterpoint to individual research and a record of the people I learn alongside.
