User:Firien

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi! I'm a Natural Sciences graduate of Cambridge University, UK; I've got a broad range of interests and will most likely have no discernible pattern to my edits, though I try to avoid politics and controversial topics. The research side of my job means I have to look up a lot of obscure things, and I've found wikipedia incredibly useful as a stepping stone into more detailed information.

I was a winning international veteran coxswain before reaching university, continuing with coxing for W1 at Caius, taking a headship and holding others while there, though currently disabled from further coxing with a trapped nerve. I was also the artwork guy for the college and university RAG societies for 2 years each as well as taking part in many smaller societies and activities, and still got my degree; I'm now an inventor in one of the science companies near Cambridge.
