​Elise's interests are wide and poorly defined. She likes just about everything which is to say she likes to partake in every part of the human experience. She likes good food, good wine, good music, good books, good ideas and good people. In her spare time, she travels the globe across the American continent to other continents getting a peek at what everyone is doing.

​With interests wide and many, this blog will focus on topics related to economics, ethics, philosophy, feminism, and what it means to be a former tomboy transformed into a beautiful "Woman in STEM" in this our modern world.

The title of thia blog and the major page divisions come from the song "I am a Scientist" by Guided by Voices.

A peek into our creative nest.
