Keizen (pronunciation http://www.name-coach.com/keizen-liqian) fell in love with classroom teaching at CSU Fullerton, where they studied a bacterial manganese oxidase. They have freelanced as a composer, climbed model bridges with children on field trips at the Exploratorium, and taught wild fermentation at Slide Ranch. They now sing in choirs when they're not culturing and measuring with students here and at Santa Rosa Junior College and Napa Valley College.
