Laura, Sonnet's first flatmate post-college in San Francisco's North Beach neighbourhood, now lives with husband Chris in Bernal Heights following a long-tour in Lower Manhattan. Laura took an academic route - PhD in British Literature from Columbia, professor of literature at Yale and The New School (NYC) and, most recently, teaching courses on
Ulysses and the MeToo movement at Stanford. She also writes about culture, gender and sexuality - a few of her academic papers include 'The Cult of the Clitoris', 'Stein's Tickle' and "Third Rail Erotica: Anais Nin's Auletris" (independent.academia.edu). She recently engineered Harvard's acquisition of an extensive collection on women, gender and sexuality in American History as part of Harvard's Schlesinger Library, collected, in part, from San Francisco's sexual underground movement beginning in 1970s.
Chris, meanwhile, is a Senior Director at Google's DeepMind where he leads teams in Information Quality, Media Integrity, DeepFakes, Cheapfakes, VFX Tech, AR/VR, Human Pose and Face Analysius & Synthesis with launches in Google Search, Ads, T&S, YouTube, DayDream, Phots, JigSaw and other product areas.
