Once a scientist, now somehow working for the government. European, book nerd, obsessed with knitting, journaling, fountain pens, plants. Cat person AND dog person. Star Trek AND other SciFi. Fiction AND non-fiction. Coffee AND Tea. Science AND Art. etc.

Hi, I’m a Molecular Biologist in a movie. A mysterious virus kills people and baffles doctors. I’ll sequence it in a centrifuge and cure it by looking at DNA through a vintage microscope to find a mutation. I’ll then mix colorful liquids to inject into patients, kill the virus and save the world 🦠
Hello, I'm an author in a film. I will be seen doing anything but writing a book, because typing is boring. Then I will have a 30-second montage of clicking away at a keyboard, I will hand a ream of paper to my editor who will declare it to be genius and a week later I will be atop the NYT list.
Hello, I'm an attorney in a film. I have a pure and perfect knowledge of every area of practice in every jurisdiction. Nevertheless, I will be corrected by a plucky law school grad who just passed the bar. After some stubborn resistance, I will silently nod and take her under my wing.

The US government has added the DNA of approximately 133,000 migrant children and teens to a criminal database, which critics say could mean police treat them like suspects “indefinitely.”

CBS is canceling The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, calling it a “financial decision.” … sure. Totally nothing to do with the political commentary, right?

ICE agents are out here manhandling elected officials—yet again. They arrested NYC Comptroller Brad Lander for asking if they had a warrant—which is his constitutional right.

First they illegally deport citizens. Then they unleash ICE to terrorize communities. Now they’ve got the National Guard in L.A. to silence protestors.
This ain’t about law and order.
