Hello everyone! This is a science blog about my life as an undergraduate in the road leading up to graduate school. My goal from writing here is to tell my thoughts, worries, activities, and anything else that comes to mind, so that other undergraduates can have a resource to see specifically what another one of them is doing. My hope is that the people reading this blog will not be limited to solely undergraduates – I would love to hear from prospective undergraduates, and advice from PhDs, Postdocs, and researchers/professors out in the field.

Anyways, it would probably help you to have a little background on me. I am a third year student at Johns Hopkins University majoring in Biophysics. Right now I am studying abroad at the University of Edinburgh for a semester. I will be applying to MD/PhD programs with plans to pursue oncology/hematology and research into cancer and stem cells, although I am unsure of what specifically.

I will have plenty to say, so I hope that you enjoy.
