Entomologist, retired but still active in research. I believe in love; chocolate muffins; my wonder-cat, the ineffable essence of the eternal now; the Fibonacci sequence; the Goldbach conjecture; the values of a good education; the inherent dignity of man; the coming of the Age of Aquarius; and the unending fight for truth, justice, and the American Way. Politically, I am a European-style social democrat (and proud of it).
