If I weren't a scientist:  Well if my destiny was different and it had not lead me to UNC for the wonderful world of science, I would probably be doing one of two things:  working for a charatible organization (like the Peace-Corp) in a third world country or I would be tourning the country in my VW bus with my two cats, Besos and Puddles, working odd end jobs to support us.
