This one's going around again, so what the hey.

Ganked from all over my friends list, but hopefully you guys aren't bored of it yet...

The problem with LJ: we all think we are so close, but really we know nothing about each other.

I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about.

Ask away. Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you.

Why food science? At what age did you start to be curious about this?

I've always enjoyed weird food. I used to order things like frogs' legs off menus as a child just because they were there. But falling into it as a career was pretty random. After I quit graduate school in Neuroscience and moved to Ithaca to hang out with Bard, I signed up with a science temp agency, and they placed me at a consultant in the food industry. It was one of those 'aha' things --people do this for a living? It was fun, and I was surprisingly good at it. So I did it for something over a decade. Still dunno if I'll get backto it after the intense mommying phase of my life.

Isn't that odd? I've been seriously wondering if I want to go back to teaching...I wonder if a lot of women change careers after becoming a parent, for other than financial reasons, I mean.

Fascinating.

I think once you realize you *can* change tracks in your life, by virtue of having done it once, the desire to try something else can be very high.
