Abhishek Bhatnagar (IPA /'äbhïʃɛk bhətŋägɛɹ/) is a creature of the genus Homo. Though native to the Indo-Gangetic plains, he currently resides in the Greater Toronto Area of Canada. Psychologically speaking, he is thought capable of altruism, compassion, sensitivity and sometimes even intelligence. His physiological activities include tennis, soccer, and running. In his past, he has received Catholic Schooling. Oddly enough, this occurred in residence of a strict Islamic State - Kuwait. As a consequence of being exposed to so many cultures at a young age, he is now known to hold a religious affiliation to the only true lord, Sir David Attenborough. Abhishek created and lead the University of Ottawa Skeptics group in it's first year, and is now a member of the Center For Inquiry Ontario. The natural world is known to be a source of great joy to this creature and hence his favorite activities include hiking and nature documentary watching. In his natural habitat, he can be found reading, playing sports, and imitating David Attenborough. Subjects of books in his library include linguistics, neurosciences, paleontology, anthropology, general biology and physics. A favorite quote: "I personally can't have enough of people leaning out of television screens saying 'You lazy, irresponsible, ignorant chap sitting there in your comfortable suburban home, why don't you care for this or subscribe to that and go out and do the other'. I actually think the best way of taking the message to the people is by showing them the pleasure, not necessarily by saying every time 'You've got to do something about it' but by saying 'look, isn't this lovely' and the other bit follows." ~ David Attenborough
