Fun facts about me: I'm a huge fan of science fiction & board games. I once had the privilege of being called shortsighted by Stephen Hawking in a packed auditorium. My cats can jump through hoops. My family and I love public transit and social justice.
FAQ:
Q: Are you related to Steve Forbes?
A: Nope, at least not within the past few hundred years.
Q: Wait, weren't you a Hubble Fellow at UC Irvine?
A: Nope, you're thinking of Marcel Pawlowski - one of at least 3 doppelgangers I have among astronomers ~my age.
Q: How did you like Caltech?
A: I didn't get a lot of sleep, so my memory's a bit spotty.
Q: Who's the coolest celebrity you've met?
A: (just kidding no one asks that) Barack Obama when he was running for senate in 2004!
