• Who am I?

    I am Qrystal; or at least, that's my dot-name! Har har. (My name is really Crystal, but that's not as internet-searchable; hence, switching the C for the little-used letter Q.)

    I am here because I enjoy writing. I do this mostly for myself, but I also have a passion for helping others learn things from the things I write. Now that I am done my Ph.D. in Physics, I am stepping away from academic research so that I can indulge in some creative ways to share my knowledge and inspire the appreciation of scientific thinking in others. I am also working as a tutor, which is one of the jobs I've most enjoyed doing in my life so far.

    Choking Hazard  » Blog Archive  » On Meeting Wil Wheaton

    This would totally be me if I met Wil. I restrained myself from following him on twitter for awhile when I started, only to peek in on him occasionally to see why some of my followees were replying to him with interesting things. Eventually I realized he was a really cool guy, with interests much like my own, AND he’s got some great insight into writing, which I sorely need right now! So anyways, I’m now a follower too.

    He replied to something I said recently, and I amped up the resulting geeky giddiness to try to convince my friends to join twitter. It didn’t work, but it was fun to try. :P
