ABOUT
Daniel is a psychology major at Yale-NUS college. When he was seven he discovered the ancient tusk of a wooly mammoth. After those four inches of backbreaking excavation, he had wasted no time in telling everyone else at the playground about his precious find—until his elder brother cruelly revealed the serial numbers on the standard-issue PVC pipe. He spends the rest of his days trying to deal with this traumatic setback with tai chi, writing, and listening to Carole King.
