About me
After being conceived on a tropical island in the South Pacific, I was born at Stanford Hospital on March 17, 1981. I was raised in the Silicon Valley town of Mountain View, California.
While growing up in Mountain View, I developed interests in music, research, and the environment. During my junior year at Mountain View High School, I worked on a molecular biology project at Stanford University as an assignment for my Biology AP class. That same year, I volunteered at Hovenweep National Monument and became interested in environmental issues. As an undergraduate at the University of California, Berkeley, I combined these interests and began doing field research in ecology. This April, I finished my Ph.D. in ecology at the University of Colorado at Boulder. My work in ecology has focused on the biogeochemical interactions between plants and soils. Lately, I've done a lot of work on ecosystem nitrogen cycling. I also have an active side interest in scientific graphic design and presentation.
About this website
I first posted this website on 8 February 1998 as an assignment for my English class junior year in high school. Our assignment was to weave a “tapestry” of stories, ideas, art, and principles that defined our lives during our transition to adulthood. The tapestry's purpose is still visible in pages like the Proust Questions and the Acknowledgements. Another of the ten original tapestry items was this essay about Hovenweep.
This site is hosted on The Artifex, a non-profit 501(c)3 organization run by my good friend Hunter Blanks and several of his friends. The Artifex was started by Hunter and his friends because they wanted permanent email addresses. It has grown to be a full service web-serving community that hosts many websites, including darrouzet-nardi.net.
The core of this site's typesetting and layout is this CSS style sheet. I update the site using this shell script, which duplicates these files (First, Middles, Last) creating an html page for each photo, with the appropriate page title and links.
