and here are some facts about me:
⚗️ I am a Chemical Engineer by training,
💻 but currently on a not-so-undercover research mission posing as a Computational Biologist
🌊 I grew up next to the sea, so I decided to move to the seaside city of Barcelona, Spain, for my PhD
👩🎓 so now I am a PhD student at the Epitranscriptomics and RNA Dynamics lab, at the Center for Genomic Regulation (CRG).
🐍 I mainly write in R because it's easy on my engineer brain;
Python is fun too
💎 I use Obsidian as a second brain, and sometimes I write code for it that I publish to this repo
🎨 Graphic design is my passion, so you bet I spend an hour choosing the perfect font
🖌️ ggplot and BioRender are my besties
🎟️ I have discovered that emojis help me navigate through a repo so,
bear with me, my repo READMEs are filled with emojis
📸 I also like to find a photo that vaguely expresses the theme of each repo
🐳 I really really really like whales, so much that
- I wanted to become a Marine Biologist (so close yet so far)
- seeing them irl is one my favorite memories
- I currently own about 20 whale-inspired or whale-themed items
- one of the coolest papers I have read is on whales, with the coolest title: Return to the Sea, Get Huge, Beat Cancer: An Analysis of Cetacean Genomes Including an Assembly for the Humpback Whale
🐱 Yes, I am a cat person; yes, I am slightly allergic to cats; no, I won't stop petting them
