Ae is pronounced as [ei]. Pinay 🇵🇭. Kidney warrior 💪. Plant mama 🌱. Chef scientist 👩🏻‍🍳. Matcha-ddicted 🍵.
Just presented my work. Now I’m off to my cave to finish writing. Yup, PhD is just a few BIG steps closer. Until then, I’ll keep chugging my matcha to keep me awake, and buying plants to distract me from failed experiments. 😆

Huge thanks to people who support me everyday: to my real friends in this field who always move with pure intentions, to my friends outside the lab, to my second mother, and most especially, to my loving husband and his family who always believe in me. (3/n)

It’s always my pleasure to share the science I do, and I am beyond grateful for these opportunities. It’s very humbling. The world is full of envy and people who are unhappy to see our successes, but we strive to move forward and to redirect ourselves to better places. (2/n)
