So I've been doing quite a few things over my career but LEGO is definitely something that is more of a hobby. I'm a science writer by training, I guess, I have long been either writing or editing for both adults and children audiences. I also produce the MIT daily and weekly email newsletters. In my capacity there, I edit articles about MIT peer reviewed research, about profiles, about students and faculty members, and things like that.
