A Modern Mendel

This account is no longer actively updated. May check annually, but that's about it.

I'm a friendly dude, generally speaking. I'm a martial artist, a scientist (computational biologist, or at least that's my passion), and a teacher. I'm just a person trying to find the rock that is higher than I. Feel free to "Friend" me or introduce yourself however you'd like, if you'd like.

Perhaps, if you're a furry, we can meet at a convention. I've been to:

AC 05 06 07 08 09 10
MFF 02 03 05 07 09
MFM 02
FCN 10
RCFM 12
FWA 11 13 14 15 16

And, if you're not a furry, well, we can still share thoughts via this medium and, perhaps, some day hang out together.

In the meantime join one of the communities I moderate:
openpaws - A general interest furry community
furry_rpers - For furry roleplayers. I'm furry and play D&D a lot so I think I qualify
rainbow_ark - A LGBTQ, Christian, furry group. (On an indefinite "sabbatical", to return when time is available)
stork_patrol - A group for fans of storks, ibis, and cranes... created in honor of my good friend Jouster!
teenycom - A group dedicated to the hocking of inexpensive commissioned artwork. With inexpensive being defined as less than or equal to $10.

Pax vobis cum,
Dragoon

P.S.

"This. Intelligence -- not "OMG lookit my raw IQ score," but evidence of thought, and the careful placing of words to express those thoughts, is always memorable. Today was the birthday of an alcohol and opium addict who was booted out of West Point; had a relationship with his stepfather that was full of Teh Dramaz; married his teenage cousin; and died in a spectacularly undistinguished way. Yet if you start with the five words, "Once upon a midnight dreary," everybody knows whom you're talking about." - just_the_ash on my comment writing. I was/am so flattered I had to share it.
