Introduce Yourself!

Hi everyone!

My name is Alison and I'm organizing this course. I live in Portland, OR and work behind the scenes at P2PU! I know a lot about this project, so feel free to ask me any P2PU questions you have!

I'm running this course as part of a larger personal learning prject called "a handmade masters" (http://www.grungefarmer.org/handmade-masters.html). My undergrad degree is in marine & freshwater biology, and although I like academia, I prefer alternatives because they are more exciting and creative.
