| Introduction | I have a B.A. in liberal arts and pre-med studies from New College of Florida. I wrote a pretty technical undergrad thesis on the vaginal microbiota, which you can view here. I also composed, choreographed, and performed in an interpretive dance detailing the mechanisms of two different treatments for a common UTI, available on YouTube with and without subtitles. (go to 2:20 to skip the intro on the first vid.) This blog exists because I can't stop being amazed at the worlds that exist within us. |
