Loved your episode of Nerdist.

Ever thought of doing your own podcast?

Maron's podcast is a great one. I rarely miss an episode. I think you'd also do well on Pete Holmes' podcast You Made It Wierd.

As for the name thing...I do have a Tardis tattooed on my right thigh so it just made sense.

I too share an admiration for all things Hardwick.

From the point of view of a care aide who had worked with quadriplegics before; I think it's awesome you are reaching out to share your experience and thoughts.

Thank you for doing this. I know you probably get a lot of intrusive questions regarding your disability. I just want to say thanks for being so open and answering questions.

Keep being awesome :-)

When I go to work (regardless of who my client is) I try to imagine the every day challenges and frustrations they face and try to ease that. You have to put yourself in the other persons place and remember that when they are frustrated or short tempered it's most likely not about you. Also, in my experience, disabled people are very resilient and are often quite introspective and capable of immense compassion.

I truly hope you have many healthy happy years ahead of you and that you find ways to challenge yourself.

I work with young adults with disabilities and mental illnesses. My client is a young woman with paranoid schizophrenia (as well as physical disabilities). She's a daily inspiration to me and is a big reason I do what I do.

Thank you for being so ambitious and motivated. Not only are you working for the betterment of the planet, but you've given young girls all over the world the dream that science is for everyone.

Thanks. Keep being a mutha-flippin badass.
