I proposed to my partner this past weekend using a Dungeons and Dragons theme to pop the question! Here’s a snapshot of the mimic ring box I used for the proposal. (He said yes! We also definitely fought the mimic before I let him take the rings😈)

Insomnia: Lets change things up, I’m actually going to let you sleep tonight!

My cat at 3am: Now is the time! I want to make sure that you know that you are throughly loved. (Also I decided that I want fed four hours early)

Insomnia: 😂🤣😂 Gotcha!

This image I took of Caulobacter this morning reminds me of Goron Chief Darunia. I think my microbes are telling me to play another run of Ocarina of Time!

Boarderlands 4 looks interesting. The first look trailer didn’t get me as excited as I expected it would, but I’m still looking forward to the game.

First look at the Witcher 4 and I’m excited to play as Ciri! Looking forward to what this game has to offer!

Following up with my primary care physician today. Living with numerous chronic illnesses, my brain feels like this every time I go to an appointment. Trying to be better prepared for today and write it all down beforehand, we will see how my AuDHD does with some structured chaos.

My TBR is through the roof, so what do I do?

Well of course I buy more books

I’m pretty sure I’m a book dragon hoarding books at this point. If I could just get out of this reading slump and hyper-focus on reading, I could become a book dragon that hoards stories!

I’d like to wish LoZ: OoT a Happy 26th Birthday! This game is one of my favorites of all time and was foundational in my youth.

In celebration, I’m passing the torch and teaching my mini me how to play!

First post on Bluesky, let’s share some websites offering many free illustrations for scientific figures 🖼️ 🧪 🌍 :

More well known but very nice though: www.freepik.com

The beauty in our universe is one of the things that inspired me and lead to a passion about science. From the unknowns out there to what life looks like elsewhere in the universe, it’s always nice to take a breath and ponder at her beauty.

Happy Eevee day!

I’m a classic kind of girl, Vaporeon will always be my fave!

Disability Awareness 🏥

What I’ve learned as a disabled member of society is that, despite our disabilities, we are expected to function as those individuals who are not disabled. That plus navigating a system that is not disability friendly, we often have to take up roles that we cannot sustain physically or mentally.

To introduce myself, I am PhD Candidate in Molecular Biology studying how intrinsically disordered protein PopZ organizes and facilitates interactions with key cellular components in Caulobacter crescentus and various Alphaproteobacterial species.
