Films: Current favorites are Arrival, Coraline, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and Godzilla Minus One
Games: Currently playing Magic: The Gathering Arena and occasionally Valorant
Books: Currently reading "Eragon" by Christopher Paolini and "How Not to Die" by Michael Greger
Nature: I like the beach and dislike hiking
Feel free to chat about any of the above (or about academia, I guess).
