Single! Violinist, and fan of *almost* all comida Latina. Served in Orlando, Florida speaking Spanish. A student at heart, loves all things math and science (and can appreciate other subjects too).

Now I am doing more research on emergent biological phenomena, like cell sorting and coordination of the Dictyostelium Discoideum slug (google it!). Read more about Henry here.
