Your personal background.
My name is Ariel Boston and I am originally from Boulder, Colorado and I was born October 19th 1987. I grew up with entirely scientist parents, my mother Penelope Boston is a microbiologist and now teaches at <a>NMT[/url]. My dad Starley Thompson is a climatologist and recently retired from <a>Lawrence Livermore Laboratory[/url]. My other dad Steve Welch is mainly a computer consultant with <a>Philip Zimmermann[/url], the creator of PGP. I moved to Los Lunas New Mexico the beginning of my freshman year in high school and it was torture. I hated it so much that I went to classes at the college in addition to high school amassing enough credits to graduate in the middle of my junior year. Immediately after (two days later) I started going to NMT, where I am majoring in Astrophysics and thinking about doubling up with either Computer Science or Math, both of which are great passions of mine. I have a <a>web site[/url] under construction where you can, if you want, find out more about me...
By the way, I put HTML tags in here and they do not seem to be showing up... so my website is here:

Your opinions about Einstein@Home
I run Einstein@Home because I like to do anything and everything that I can to help science. I own about 7 macs and plan on using all of them for Einstein@Home. I believe that this project is very important as it is a collective effort towards a noble goal, and anything that people can collaborate on and succeed at is good. People with little or no background in science can still contribute to the cause, and that is very important. Without the support of common people, science can't go very far. Happy Computing!
