My relevant traits: Earnest, talkative, compassionate, social, analytical, direct, emotional, introspective, easily delighted, “a pleasure to have in class."

I am attracted to people, primarily men, who:

• are kind/compassionate/attentive.

• think deeply about things, and want to share that intellectual engagement. 

• have a steady, even-keeled presence and positive outlook.

• are values-driven, forthright, and have the courage of their convictions.

• are curious and creative in some regard (broadly defined!).

Overview of me: I work at a vaccine development policy nonprofit and am therefore liable to accidentally say things like, “I’m really excited about tuberculosis!” At various non-work times, I hike, dance, climb, read, write, and volunteer in a community garden. I love materials science and also poetry about materials science. I’m a big fan of physics metaphors for the human condition. I think about the French Revolution slightly more than would be completely normal. I have Very Detailed opinions about stories. I actually enjoy voting. Small children sometimes mysteriously decide that I am their friend.

Stuff relevant for serious relationships:

• I want kids someday! 

• I like the idea of relationships-as-projects, where striving for a goal with another person both tests compatibility and strengthens a bond. I would love to do something project-y and goal-oriented together, like traveling or building a bookshelf or learning something or…      

• I live in Colorado but am fairly mobile at the moment and can travel within the US for the right person. I'm planning to move within the next few months, and a serious relationship would definitely be a factor.
