    <about><![CDATA[I've been a bookworm and science nerd since birth, and am a physician by training. I love science, especially biology, geology, and evolution. I'm particularly interested in the history of ideas and the history of science. I'm deeply concerned about social justice, poverty, and the environment. Personal interests include gardening, hiking, bicycling, and cooking. <br/><br/>These days, I'm &quot;reading&quot; many of my books as audiobooks. I love that I can &quot;read&quot; while otherwise busy, so that the lack of time no longer deprives me of the the world of books. Plus, a good narrator adds so much to a book. I immediately think of Tim Curry's reading of the Abhorsen trilogy, and Simon Jones' reading of the Bartimaeus trilogy. Electrifying, both.]]></about>
