Jake, ??

Going to lectures is probably the easiest way to meet a new friend. That's Jake. Ever seen CSI? Well, Jake will soon be a real life version of those characters! Right now he's studying forensics at BU but only part time. He also works in research at MIT. Since he graduated from Harvard, he's made quite the rounds of Boston schools. Wonder where this kid's loyalty lies...

Oh yeah- with New York. Well at least in terms of sports, he's definitely a fan of all the NY teams although he keeps that a secret in the home of the Red Sox. His other passions include 7th grade punk bands (i.e. Blink 182, Sum 41, etc.) and physics. He admitted to knowing very few Taylor Swift songs - apparently that's what he gets teased for among his friends. I'd probably shun you a little for that, Jake.

Coolest fact about Jake: He was excited for my post! I'm going to either label his personality as fun-loving or optimistic. Maybe both. When we initially did our "I'm sitting next to you so I'll extend some polite gestures" nods, he asked how I was doing and willingly continued the conversation. Also, I don't know a lot of graduate students who are willing to go to random Q & A events held on campus. Although, our Q & A was with Elie Wiesel and I don't know who WOULDN'T go to that! 

Jake - It was great meeting you. Hopefully you found my blog okay, I tried to emphasize the importance of the word project in the URL. Also I forgot to ask you how old you were. You were great lecture company and if I see an intense crime scene I'll definitely check to see if you are around.
