From Redmond, Washington; my favorite pastime is doing mathematical proofs and/or eating poptarts with friends. My favorite quote is: "I was watching the Indy 500 and I thought to myself: 'If they left earlier, maybe they wouldn't have to go so fast.'" - Anonymous

What you like about NEXT?
I have not only the privilege to learn about research firsthand, but encouragement to learn as much as I want about the topics surrounding it. Being a Physics enthusiast, this is a dream come true.
