I am a biochemical engineer in a US government lab. I am interested in the processing and modification of agricultural commodities, particular the protein portion of these commodities. My current reseach is the in the non-food/feed utilization of meat and bone meal, which is a by-product of the rendering industry.

I am also interested in alternative comics, underground hip-hop, geneology, stand-up comedy, sex and drugs.

I am an alumni of UC Davis, Cornell University and the University of Arizona. My real name isn't Ike; Ike is my kitty-cat.

I love Wikipedia, and have a vague notion that it may eventually evolve into something unique and profound.

I'm a member of the Harmonious editing club.
