I received my PhD in genetics in March 2003. My thesis dealt with functional genomics and bioinformatics in E. coli and was carried out in the Church lab at Harvard Medical School in Boston. I spent the summer of 2001 in Kyoto, Japan in the NSF-sponsored Monbusho research program.
Rosie received her masters degree in 2003 from the Boston University School of Public Health. We met when I volunteered to be a judge at a middle school science fair she organized.
Rosie and I were engaged on March 23rd, 2001 and married on August 18, 2002. We are currently living happily ever after.
