My opinion on blogging to paraphrase Winston Churchill - “Never have so many, written so much, read by so few.”
So why on Earth have I started a blog?
I make a lot of notes and often find myself referring back to these including programming commands etc. I figured I will store them here in a centralised place & open-source them.
To see why I’ve started a blog it makes sense to look at who I’ve started a blog for:
- You - To provide as much value as I can to you, the reader
- Me - To help organise my thoughts, retain the things I learn & improve my writing
- The world - To help actually improve it by using reason and taking action, not just by good intentions alone. Ambitious I know 😅
Who am I?
I am a bioinformatician and PhD student at the University of Cambridge
What will I write about
I hope to start blogging more frequently about (my) research and PhD-related things to document stuff that I learn. I’ll likely cover topics such as:
- Biology
- Immunology
- Vaccines
- Viruses
- Computing
- Bioinformatics
- Data Science
- Machine learning
- Maths
- Statistics
- Probability theory
- Linear algebra
As time goes on I may expand to cover other interests. These may include effective altruism, tech (start-ups), personal development, productivity, life learnings, reading, travel, health and relationships.
Thank you
I don’t really anticipate anyone else reading this blog so I’m flattered if you are 🙂
If you’re interested in any of the topics above then you’re in the right place. I will generally try and keep my posts short, fun & practical. I would love any feedback you might have so please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Disclaimer: Many of the blog posts will likely not be as throughly researched and well presented as I would like. This is in the interest of time in order to publish more content.
Thanks for reading!
