This is my website, for which I am looking to expand into a blog too. A place to dump my thoughts. I spend most of my time playing with genomic data, reading novels, and being in the bush. This site will probably reflect that, along with things I want to remember and things I want to share with no particular audience in mind.

Everything can be interpreted mathematically, but nothing is truly mathematical, for maths relies on contradiction and this world is One. Regardless, why not use maths to study one of the most consequential systems known to us, our own flesh.

"When I draw a molecule in China or in Argentina, it is the same molecule. People understand immediately without knowing Spanish or Chinese. That is beautiful. Our common goal is not about power or borders of the country, it is about bringing forward human knowledge." — Ben Feringa It is the same binary that brings us together on here despite being apart.
