So this blog's going to be more orderly and journally than my other blog (I know those are not real words just go with it) because I want to use it as a way of keeping in one place all my science ramblings and thoughts.
To start with, these are my main interests within science :
My favourite sciences are biology and physics, chemistry is interesting but I just prefer the other 2
I also like psychology but I am not studying it anymore, I just read about it as a hobby
I am really interested in genetics and neuroscience, particularly epigenetics
I think astrophysics is really cool too
I am interested in autism research but only when it's used to help understanding autistic people not to try and "cure" them. There are so many ethical questions that make it difficult (but I'll discuss more stuff about this in a separate post)
I am enthusiastic about women and girls in science and the idea that everyone should have access to science and that it should be explained in an entertaining and easy to understand way (Hannah fry is one of my heroes and she does this really well)
Overall, I want to become a research scientist to help people and because I think it would be a good way to keep learning (which I enjoy) and to make a difference in the world (and I know maybe that's naive, but it's definitely worth a try)
