About me

Men love to wonder, and that is the seed of science.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Hey there! My name is Valarie and I am currently a student at the University of Westminster in London working on my Medical Microbiology MSc. I moved here during the summer of 2019 from the United States to be with my British husband and shortly after moving here I enrolled in school. My background is in medical laboratory science and I am a certified Medical Technologist by the American Association of Bioanalysts.

I’ve always been very curious and had an interest in science, but it wasn’t until I started my first few years of college that I discovered that I am also a lab rat. This blog is a place for me to discuss different subjects within science such as current events, my thoughts and experiences as an American student in a British university, and to just help communicate science overall.

I hope you join me on this journey of discovering what this blog will transform into and that you’re entertained along the way.
