Rosamond, Madeline S. (1983- )
Rosamond, the youngest of two daughters, was born on August 22, 1983 to lower-middle-class socialist common-law parents in Kitchener, Ontario. Leaving behind a typically intelligent but socially awkward childhood, Rosamond is studying for her PhD of Earth Sciences at the University of Waterloo. Her thesis keeps getting bigger and involves a lot of nitrous oxide in rivers. In undergrad, Rosamond majored in Earth Sci and minored in English, and often finds themes from both departments in her work. Particularly interested in the survival of and in landscapes, whether mental or physical (wild or urban), she also flirts with such ideas as gender and cultural identity, energy and creation. She draws particular inspiration from her sister's works, Jorge Luis Borges, Milan Kundera, Salman Rushdie, Germaine Greer, and Octavio Paz.

Rosamond encourages everyone to marvel in the brilliance of her sister, Emily, at www.s-laughter.com/.

    Hey! Wonderful to see that you've continued to a PhD in geochem. I've become interested in archaeological "stone-sourcing," particularly the marbles of a few ancient Greek sites. I'm still in undergrad, but will be starting that work soon, at least in the prep stage. It's amazing, at last a way to merge art and science successfully!

    I'm at a Big Ten school now, actually doing some work with Applied Geophysics but a little dissatisfied there. I've interviewed for a position in Geochemistry, actually, though my concentrations are in petrology/tectonics/paleontology. However, I'm really hoping for the position; the research appears fascinating.

    You read what came out of me on a very, very bad day. Now it's all right, I have many more possibilities, you know? I also have a secondary concentration in Studio Art and Design. So I've many things to consider.
