Personal
A few things about me that have little (or nothing) to do with research
🧑🤝🧑 I love meeting new people and discovering great places to eat. Introducing my friends to one another over good food is even better, and it’s so satisfying to see people from different parts of my life end up getting along really well.
🍽️ Luckily, I’m not picky eater. I’m up for trying new/seasonal dishes, unfamiliar ingredients, and spices. Unless something looks like a serious threat to my stomach, I’ll probably give it a try.
🏊 I’ve been swimming since I was really little, and if I remember correctly, I still have a small gold medal from a butterfly sprint somewhere with my name on it.
🎾 I’ve also recently started learning tennis and golf, and I hope to get good enough to play a proper game soon.
🚶 I’m notoriously bad with directions, but I’m oddly proud of it. I love walking without a particular destination. So I drop by the places with interesting buildings, wandering through little side streets, and love streets with their own character.
🇩🇪 I started learning German on Duolingo and am currently on a 470+ day streak. I guess I could order food in German now with a little help from my hand gestures, as long as the waiter doesn’t ask any follow-up questions. Umlauts are still a struggle.
📺 I’m very confident that I’m quite talented at binge-watching TV series. I once finished the entire Breaking bad series in a week during the semester.
👟 Unless I’m in a real hurry, I usually walk over 10,000 steps a day.
