Hi, I'm Kate. I write fiction (F/SF). Still working on that submission thing.
I'm also a scientist who does computational biology. Right now I am studying the 3D structure of DNA and trying to understand how it affects genes turning on and off.
I'm also a Canadian who recently moved to the US (Seattle, specifically). I'm pretty fond of ice cream, coffee AND tea, my husband, my cat, riding my bike, and lazy hiking (the kind where you don't climb a mountain).
@disappearinjon Thanks! Yeah this is definitely the town for that kind of thing. I was at norwescon last weekend (my first SF con!) & met some excellent folks there as well
@eskay8 I was there with my wife and two kids. IMHO it's a nice regional con. Bigger than many, so in some sense less opportunity to meet people, but still short of bedlam.
@eskay8 welcome to the Shop!
@eskay8 Hello from a fellow Seattleite!
@eskay8 welcome to Seattle! You should come to the Clarion West parties this summer. It's high season for Seattle SF/F writers and fans.
