Hello world!

I finally bit the bullet and started working on a personal website and blog. The main goal is to highlight interesting topics I have been working on, as well as sharing interesting or useful tidbits I discover during my work. The standard scientific paper is sometimes not the best medium to discuss some of the nuances of one’s research, for example due to the fact that one tends to self-select and show only the most convincing and/or status-quo friendly version of our research as to maximize the chance of publication. Hopefully this format will allow me to shed some light into some of the overlooked or controversial details about research.

Unlike the typical personal website, which tends to be abandoned as soon as the original goal is achieved (usually finding a job after graduation), I plan to allow myself to write short posts, sometimes about seemingly unrelated but interesting topics, so as to keep the blog posts coming in.

Enjoy your stay and hopefully I will write something that is also interesting to you.
