Sarah Y.

I love cats, the color pink, and lavender scented things! I have a fluffy Persian cat named Mango, and I tend to collect postcards, stickers, keychains, stationary, and small trinkets. I’m clumsy at time, but I don’t mind because it leads me to funny places sometimes. And did I mention? I am absolutely fascinated by the implications of synthetic biology in addressing real world problems!!!
