CHANGING THE CONVERSATION
46 Spring 2014
“I personally enjoy magic as an art form and love to watch others perform, especially after a busy day. Of course, as a scientist, I am also interested in how it is done. Clearly, magic is based on scientific principles, but I was very happy to find out that magic recently has also informed science.”
“I've always liked a challenge. . . . The mental toughness required to get through my engineering degrees translates quite perfectly to CrossFit. CrossFit takes both physical and mental toughness. When the physical exertion peaks during a workout, mental toughness kicks in to push me through the last few seconds.”
