#1 bleachers fan · emulating worms · learning hardware

Hey! I'm Claire; thanks for stopping by! I'm fascinated about neuroscience and computer science (& some progress policy work) and have done some budding research in these fields, as well as various related ventures and social projects.

If you ever see me, I'll probably either be talking about Hack Club, expressing my undying love for Bleachers & my Spotify playlists, ranting about books, stuck in the lab where I'm currently researching whole brain simulation of C. elegans and connectomics, or writing bad music reviews on my blog. I truly believe in the art of making for the betterment of the world while having fun doing so. DFTBA¹!

Recently

I just received the Thiel Fellowship & dropped out of MIT! For the past bit, I've been making next-gen biohybrid interfaces at Axo Neurotech & working on building a whole brain connectome of the mouse brain at e11.bio, as well as some continued robotics and C. elegans brain emulation research! ♥︎

Now

I took How to Make (almost) Anything @ MIT, and you can find my project and work updates here, and find the video for my final project, Blonk, here!

Currently reading

Argonauts by Maggie Nelson (also recommend reading her Bluets) & If On A Winter's Night a Traveler by Italo Calvino. Also, check out my Invisible Cities site.

Current listening

Snarky Puppy & Bleachers. I run a weekly radio show Tuesday nights (12-1AM EST), Death Car for QT, listenable at 88.1 FM in Boston or at wmbr.org, and my personal tracklist here.

More recs for books and music can be found here!
