Hi! I'm Andrew, a researcher who loves to learn about the world, make things, and go on adventures.

I'm always excited to meet new people, so if you want to go hiking together, do a puzzle hunt, play a duet, or sneak into an oceanography conference, send me an email at mass(like the physical quantity)@hey.com!
