I'm part of WP:100. I live in Coton and work at the British Antarctic Survey as a Climate modeller. I grew up in Berkhamsted. In a former life I was a mathematician at SEH. My username is my real name. I know that's a bit boring; sometimes I wonder what username I would have chosen. Perhaps Sakata, though that's another life... Sometimes people are nice about me.

Feare of power invisible, feigned by the mind, or imagined from tales publicly allowed, RELIGION; not allowed, SUPERSTITION. And when the power imagined is truly such as we imagine, TRUE RELIGION. Leviathan, ch VI
Into the distance disappear the mounds of human heads.
I dwindle - go unnoticed now.
But in affectionate books, in childrens' games,
I will arise to say: the sun!
