Biotech abundance enjoyer

I am a Genomics PhD student who has taken a keen interest in biotech innovation throughout my studies. This included interning as a biotech analyst for early-stage VC firms. I have become particularly interested in reproductive technologies, since I believe this has traditionally been an ignored topic and also because I think advancements in this area are key to achieving the liberation of women from the constraints of their biology. I am also interested in the general philosophy of progress and how we can foster a culture that’s oriented towards personal and general societal progress.

Wannabe renaissance woman

I am a big fan of classical literature, especially Russian authors. I will form a very strong opinion of people based on whether they prefer Tolstoy or Dostoyevsky. I’m also really into history, and my favourite historical era is the Renaissance. I also have a weird obsession with memorising the genealogical trees of European royal families!
