Artist + Med Lab Assistant/Technician
As social media grows more and more in our everyday lives, it's becoming abundantly clear how science and art go hand-in-hand. Both are ways to understand the world around us. Both scientists and artists strive to see and explain the world in new ways and to communicate that vision. When you combine the two, it [...]
What got you into science? This is something I ask myself to remind me of how far I've come in this field and how much I love it. Science has been the subject I looked forward to in school for as long as I can remember. It fueled my curiosity and widened my view of [...]
When I was in my third year of university, I had discovered and fallen in love with this amazing scicomm community. At the time I focused my blog and Instagram about my experiences taking bioinformatic and biotech courses, with a bit of insight into sustainability (since I was living away from home at the time) [...]

Maybe it’s because [...]

When I went to the Philippines 9 years ago, dengue fever was a big concern for my mom. She constantly had my sister and I cover ourselves in mosquito repellent in order to minimize our chances of getting the virus. That memory stuck with me and has now lead me to investigate the dengue virus [...]
On Wednesday, January 30th my friends and I attended the University of Waterloo's President's Lecture featuring 2018 Nobel Prize laureate Donna Strickland. We listened to her talk about her research and how it led her to develop chirped pulse amplification with Gérard Mourou, her Ph.D. supervisor. Her lecture was then followed by a small Q&A [...]
The ease of connecting and reaching out to people around the world has drastically increased over the years with the rise of social media. One of the things that have grown along with social media is the ability for scientists to talk to the general public, or as I see it: the rise of science [...]
