About me
I suppose this where I am meant to hype myself up in an attempt to make myself seem worth listening to. I have a disdain for talking about myself, but heres a few things about me anyway. I am an undergraduate, studying biomedical science, at the University of Birmingham with my foremost interest currently being immunology, however that is subject to an excess of variability. I take pride in my love for science, but the reality is that you shouldn’t listen to me. That’s okay though, because currently this is simply my playground for ideas. Hopefully one day, with enough practice, my ideas will also be useful for others.
The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them. I shall use my time – Jack London
About the blog
At the time of starting this blog, the world feels like a pretty dark place, but there is always light to find. This blog will probably end up pretty varied with a broad theme of science encompassing most of the posts, however I do want to keep the title in mind. It is getting dark outside, and perhaps I can’t change that, but I do hope that each post will have at least some undercurrent of joy or awe for humanitie’s efforts and achievments. I believe if we extend some effort to look, then there is always some inspiration from humanity for us to find.
Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul, and sings the tune without the words, and never stops at all – Emily Dickinson
My Story
I suppose this where I pretend that I completely understand what I made this blog for; my love for science is only overshadowed by my awful academic writing skills. Therefore this blog is here to serve me in improving those skills. However it will probably not be limited to science alone.
“Why a public website?” I hear you say. Well, this feels more real than writing up essays purely for myself. The fact there is potential for other real people (that’s you) to see it will make me try harder and stay a at least a little more consistent. And if I am lucky enough to gain readers then I will be subject to the brutal, but hopefully helpful criticism of the internet.
