I'm a graduate student at the Rockefeller University studying persistence of mycobacteria smegmatis and tuberculosis in the presence of antibiotics. My background is in theoretical physics, so this still seems rather weird.
In my spare time I study pa kua chang, play my violin, cook, and read an enormous amount of stuff at best peripherally connected to my work.

This is a set of tools and documentation I wrote to test CAMAC modules with a Jorway J73 crate controller when I was an undergraduate. The libraries have probably moved on, but someone may find this useful: camcode.tgz
