I just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself!
I'm Matt, a graduating senior getting my BS in Biological Sciences with a life science concentration
When I'm not actively working in the lab, I spend a lot of time writing and drawing.
If we are mutuals, my dms are open! ^_^

Outside of academics, I do my best to uplift to LGBTQIA+ community on and off campus.
I founded my university's queer organization and gender inclusive housing.

Really liked this article and learning more about Polish culture. It's about the Polish Version of what taking a leap of faith means to them.

The Polish Phrase That Will Help You Through Tough Times
In Poland, the concept of ‘Jakoś to będzie’ is acting without worrying about the consequences. It’s reaching for the impossible. It’s taking risks, and not being afraid.

Ooh yay, just realised Bluesky supports videos now! Might as well post my latest animation then - 'Microraptor and the Nest Guard', a little scene from the early Cretaceous. I made a video detailing my animation process on YouTube too, so check it out if you're interested!
