Introduction
Hi! My name is Eric Wei, pronounced Er-ic Wey like "whey protein" or "that way" and I'm from Fairfax, Virginia. I love playing the violin and reading (Percy Jackson and Rick Riordan still get me every time). My interests are pretty eclectic and include Marketplace, Freakonomics, Indie/Alternative music, politics, classical, movie soundtracks, photography, NPR, Game of Thrones, Man in the High Castle, Violin, Sherlock, HIMYM, GoT, The Walking Dead and Daredevil. I just finished Stranger Things and I am going to end up pulling my hair out waiting for the next season to be released.
In terms of more professional interests, I am pretty geared towards consulting and other similar business oriented fields.
Right now, I plan on majoring in Biomedical Engineering with a minor in econ but anything can happen in the next four years!

A new twist on fusion power could help bring limitless clean energy, Matthew Hole, Science X Network, Published January 17, 2017, Accessed September 21, 2017 (Provide Energy from Fusion)
This article discussed the two most recent advances in nuclear fusion technology, the tokamak and the stellarator designs. I found such a layman's discussion very useful in conveying very complex topics to a wider audience beyond that of nuclear physicists.
