- Name, job title, and location: John Zarrillo, Bioethics Archivist and Reference Librarian. I’m based in Healy Hall, or at least I will be—hopefully soon!
- What do you do - in 10 words or less? I collect, preserve, and make available the history of bioethics.
- Where are you from? I'm from Manahawkin, New Jersey—a small town on the Jersey Shore.
- Do you have any hobbies? My hobbies include running, cooking, gaming, and listening to music and going to concerts.
- What are you reading, watching, and listening to right now? I'm currently reading The Story of Bioethics (I'm taking a crash course on the subject right now) and 1177 BC: The Year Civilization Collapsed. I'll watch any cooking or baking competitions available via streaming, and I just started binging Schitt's Creek. For music, I've been obsessively listening to Sidney Gish the past few months.
- If you had to live in a different time period, which decade would you pick? Why? I would probably go back to the 1960s so I could catch all the legends of rock and roll live in concert.
- You are building your dream house. What is one room or feature you would want to include? I would love to have my own vegetable garden. I had a shared plot at a previous job years ago and I miss it.
- What has been your favorite lockdown activity? I've enjoyed baking (and eating) lots of cookies and exploring my new surroundings with my wife and dog.
- What’s your superpower (or hidden talent)? I can make very decent scrambled eggs.
- If you didn’t work in your current field, what would you be doing? It might not be super-realistic, but I like to talk in funny voices, so sometimes I wonder if I should have been a voice actor.
