I am an active citizen that was born and lived in Greece for 27 years. I moved to the USA almost 10 years ago and I am a researcher at Harvard Medical School in Boston, MA. I conduct medical research in an academic environment because there, research is "open-source". I believe that through research you can have a significant impact on people\'s lives, and you can make a difference in the world. I like what I do for living. However, the real pleasure for me is being an activist, a grassroots media reporter and a blogger. I am a libertarian and an advocate of Participatory Society and Participatory Economics. I am a member of the Hellenic Network for Participatory Society: http://www.zcommunications.org/zspace/group/HNPS I use social media and utilities a lot and I strongly believe that we should use technology to effect social change.
