Other Interests
Touring in the Pyrenees Mountains (France)
Life Outside the Academic Bubble- Just a few things that also bring me joy:
Cycling:
I am an active cyclist, and am always interested in promoting safe cycling opportunities in the community
-Bicycle Lafayette (http://www.bicyclelafayette.org/)
-The League of Bicycling Voters (www.lobv.com)
-The Great Ohio Bicycling Adventure (www.goba.com)
-Wabash River Cycle Club (wrcc-in.org/)
Travel:
I have always enjoyed traveling, both in abroad and in the US. I have had the privilege to bicycle from the Atlantic to the Pacific, backpack across Eastern Europe, through parts of South America, and most recently to India. While the publish or perish world demands attention, the soul demands a little break every once in a while.
Here you can see a map of all the places I've been (or really, the places that I have yet to go)!

Politics:
I am a politics hound. I love to know what is going on everywhere from global issues to the local city council budget debates. My goal is not to broadcast my own political views, but I certainly would encourage anyone and everyone to get involved in the process.
-Stay informed, globally, nationally, and locally (elpais.es; usatoday.com; jconline.com; ohio.com; purdueexponent.org)
-Register to vote (http://www.in.gov/sos/elections/2403.htm)
