I was always interested in medicine and I was actually a pre-med major.
I teach biology, it's kind of a difficult science and time is limited. As far as I'm concerned, it's all about the students. I teach classes that are for majors, so some of them are pre-med, pre-pharmacy and pre-dentistry and veterinarians.
I was pre-med in college, and so since a lot of people take a year off before they go to med school, I decided to take the time to pursue theater - six months later, I was on Broadway.
Well, my parents originally wanted me to become a doctor - that's why I was in school; I was pre-med, and I graduated with a degree in psychology and a concentration in neuroscience. Really, the plan was for me to go to med school.
People are interested in science, but they don't always know they're interested in science, and so I try to find a way to get them interested.
I always wanted to be a composer, and I sort of went in to NYU as pre-med because I just thought, 'Well... who actually becomes a composer?'
I took pre-med courses in college.
No, I majored in biology, in a pre-med program.
I went to college, I went pre-med, I thought I was going to be a doctor.
I started college Pre-Med. That lasted about half a semester.
Stop letting Grey's Anatomy' fool you into doing pre-med.
If I went to any other college, I probably would have been pre-med. But I felt like I had freedom to do what I wanted to do at Harvard.
In college, I stopped doing pre-med and went into theater, and then I moved to San Francisco and lived there for five years.
Science always interested me, and science, real science, was more science fiction than science fiction.
I'm very lucky in that I was inspired by science fiction while I was a little kid, and I was interested in science and technology and was encouraged to pursue those interests.
When I graduated, I promptly took a job in finance, making both my pre-med and poli-sci years essentially useless - or so I thought.
