"I'm currently a PhD student in chemistry, specializing in polymer synthesis. I got this tattoo at the very beginning of my graduate studies (almost three years ago), for many reasons (one of which was to keep me from ever backing out :)) The tattoo is of electromagnetic radiation that spirals into a polymer chain, which forms an "S" for entropy and then unravels ... kind of how we all do. It exhibits my love of science, chemistry, and my general beliefs on life, the universe, and so on."
