B.A. in History focusing on ancient South Asia and the use of religion as a tool of socio-political marginalization. But I've been interested in just about all subjects from an early age due to a Dad who was corporate/contract lawyer and built his own telescope, hand grinding the lens and rigging a tracking mechanism from household parts that was accurate to one second per year (if I'm recalling correctly). Built a shed with a fold out peaked roof which was promptly named the Shapley-Brahe Observatory. Puns do not run in my family, they gallop and stampede.
