Definitely a night person.

What is your ultimate comfort food?
Turkey legs from the fair.

I would love to go 30 days without my phone!

A sense of humor.

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
Being colorblind.

What is your most treasured possession?
My “Willow” movie poster.

“Willow,” because Madmartigan’s story is basically my biography.

If you could know one thing about tech transfer 20 years ago - that you know now - what would it be?
That it existed! I was interested in biomedical research back then but completely unaware of this profession.
