About Evans I am a fourth year PhD student in Theoretical Chemistry at Caltech working for Prof. Rudy Marcus. I am originally from Sweponsville, NC, 20 miles west of Chapel Hill and received BS's in chemistry and physics from MIT in 2006, along with a minor in Math (they stopped allowing triple majors). I've been involved in Caltech's student government as the Grad Student President and my humanitarian efforts on campus have been previously noted by the CRIME report of the American Islamic Congress. I also played varsity basketball and remain a die hard college basketball fan, particularly supporting Caltech, MIT, and UNC. I organized a lot for the Obama campaign, including leading a phone bank on election day with more than 100 people who made more than 14,000 calls. Finally, I think scientists need to have a higher profile in American discourse, which means taking on anti-science arguments, no matter how politicized. If we don't speak up for ourselves in the political debate, who will? My regular blog, boneye.blogspot.com , has previously been the winner of a cash prize in a college blog competition, and I look forward to writing a regular Science blog for scientificblogging as well.
