And I would like to continue experiencing those feelings while helping others learn.

Hobbies
I am primarily interested in reading, writing, and intellectual conversation. Specifically, I am mainly interested in philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience, especially where these intersect. But I am also very much interested in politics and political science, as well as history and other related subjects. My hobbies include sports (basketball), cooking (I consider myself to be an amateur chef! I still have a long way to go, though...) and traveling.
