Brief Biographical Sketch:
Hello! My name is Gary, and I'm a senior at Princeton who hails from rural northwestern New Jersey. I'm a chemistry major who works in a solid state chemistry lab on transition metals (though chocolate is way sweeter). I also study French and can be found on stage acting in various theater productions. Outside of class, I love visiting New York and trying to find the world's best cup of coffee. My awesome co-teacher Matt and I look forward to seeing you in class!

Besides a sweet snack, chocolate is also a perfect example of many interesting scientific phenomena. In our class, we will learn about the molecules in chocolate, discuss how thermodynamics drives chocolate's creation, and calculate a recipe of own in the name of "hands-on research."
