Halfway Through the Semester :o
I can't believe we're basically at the halfway point of this semester! It feels like everything's been moving really fast, at one point we were all trying to find our classes, the next we're being hit with quizzes, assignments, and midterms. It almost feels like a blur, but it’s been pretty fun so far in [...]
Back To School!
After long last, I'm finally going back to school to study medical lab technology! I'm incredibly excited to go back to school to become a med lab technologist. It was a long time coming, but I finally jumped at the opportunity at the end of 2025. If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ll [...]
5 Lessons from 5 Years in Post-Secondary Schools
One minute I was moving into my dorm room and getting hissed at by geese, the next, I'm back home and working full-time as a med lab assistant. In a blink of an eye, over 5 years have past and I now find myself with a Bachelors Degree in General Science with a Biology minor [...]
Placement Diaries: My First Week!
After months of waiting I am finally completing the clinical practicum portion of my program! The pandemic has pushed this portion of the program back so far; I'm so grateful that I am able to complete it now. I've been placed in a medical clinic which has been nice so far, but very hectic! Below [...]
My Start in Science
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 [...]

Assignment story: The CALM1 gene
I recently looked at my personal blog and saw that I had an unpublished blog post there that contained a bunch of screenshots and had only one sentence incomplete sentence: "like damn it. why did my gene have to be so awesome and conserved?????" I thought it may be more relevant placing this entry here [...]
Fear of Group Work
I haven't had much group work experience during my undergrad studies so far. Disregarding lab partner work, there was really only two instances of group work I can think of, and those moments were back in my first year. The first one a group research and presentation (on peroxisomes), and the second instance was just [...]
Learning to Code
From May to August, I learned how to functionally code using DrRacket. Functional programming: "treats computation as the evaluation of mathematical functions and avoids changing-state and mutable data." I found it really interesting to code. I found myself constantly pushing myself to remember the built-in tools we learned in class, and the multiple ways we [...]
