(she/her) Undergrad currently studying chemical biology (especially atmospheric pollutant monitoring) at McMaster University! Also an enjoyer of history, music, edible kitchen chemistry, and silly magic cardboard games.
Sooo yesterday I officially got accepted into a Master’s program for chemical biology which I get to start this May. I am so excited, I’ve been working for this for so long.

Soooooo it sounds like I’ve gotten into grad school? Which is. Pretty incredible. Still waiting for it to become official so we’ll see but I think I’ll be starting a Master’s soon.
