My real name is Hwa Shi-Hsia (I hate writing it the Westernized way with surname last because it destroys the rotational symmetry of my initials.) My family is of southern Chinese genetic stock, Malaysian nationality, and speaks English, which tends to confuse people from around here. I finished public school in Malaysia and came to the USA for college and graduate studies.

"So we're going to be all wasted in lab?"
[blur momentarily]
"I said FLU SHOTS, not shots."
