Introduction Text Hi! I'm Melissa. I'm a scifi nerd, a gaming geek, a singer and musician, a biologist, and a runner. I have a body that does not deal with sugar and carbohydrates well and runs preferably on meat and other animal products. My goal is to feel good, eat locally and sustainably, and run well into (and hopefully past) my 70s. If I lose a little weight in there, added bonus!

Be in tune with my body and eat and move in ways that provide me with long term health.

Always tweaking, but currently low carb, high fat (near keto) with intermittant fasting, but also seasonal. Running quite a lot, but mostly at a slow pace, and once in a while moving really fast and lifting heavy things.

I am a biologist, a professor, a musician, a science fiction fanatic, a gamer, a UU Pantheistic Pagan, and a puppy momma. I'm a hard worker, focused, passionate, and a perfectionist, but I can also be lazy and relaxed when I need to. After some time in OH, IN, and MA doing the academic training thing, I'm now teaching community college in central NY, but I'm a Jersey girl born and bred and won't ever forget it!

My title is from Rent. I love Rent, it changed my life. My blog titles tend to be song lyrics as well. I think music has the power to change the world.
