So that's me in a nutshell. Overly ambitious academics backed by talent that relies more on momentum than sheer ability. Gunning for a career in Science. Don't ask why, I couldn't say, but I like it enough that I have all the last bus times memorized.
Rather be a writer, but somehow the words went missing from my book. Unfortunately delusional enough to believe I have a chance, persevering enough to put in the work but also anxious enough to drag the eternal cloud of doubt with me all the way to the treadmill. The perfect storm for a Steemit blog.
