Who are you?

I'm Katherine Elliott, a student at Olin College, a small school you may or may not have heard about. I'm currently pursuing a General Engineering degree with a concentration in Bioengineering.

Why radiant radon?

According to webelements.com, "When cooled below the freezing point, radon exhibits a brilliant phosphorescence which becomes yellow as the temperature is lowered and orange-red at the temperature of liquid air." It sounded really cool when I was fifteen and in search of a new handle.

What else are you interested in?

In my past life I was a huge quiz bowl dork and an oceanography dork. I've recently begun to discover the joy of running Ubuntu linux. In my spare time I play around with Photoshop (where "Photoshop" is a generic term for "image editing software"). Sometimes I put stuff on my head.

Where did you learn to balance things on your head?

At home when I was little, I guess? I don't remember when/where I learned. It's not that difficult.

Can I email you?

Of course! My email is radiantradon at gmail.
