It is the blight (wo)man was born for. Hey, I'm Emma, and I think I look pretty good in a lab coat.

I enjoy thinking about very large things, thinking about very small things, riding a bicycle, smashing the patriarchy, making music, eating fresh fruit, waking up early, looking at the sky...

When I grow up I want to be a cross between Audre Lorde and Richard Feynman.

Ask me anything
