New here, researching, and my excitement has been growing exponentially.

Going to school for biology/biotech. Eventually hoping to move on to microbiology. I'm very interested in diseases and parasites.

Gene therapy seems to have a bright future though, more money there and still seems fun. I have a passion for learning, so maybe I'll just study different biology branches until I croak.

I stumbled upon this site, and the idea of implants while researching "biohacking" in nutrition. I find this all extremely interesting.

I've been pierced around 2 dozen times, and used nutrition and supplement stacking to get the most out of my quest to lose weight. I lost 80 lbs, which I unfortunately have since gained back. (Went from 8+ hrs manual labor almost daily to school and 2 jobs where I use my brain tons more than I use my body!) I was trying to get back into "biohacking" via food and supplements, and now I'm hoping to fit this stuff into my busy life as well.

Other fun facts about me:

My nickname is "CK".
I live in New England- Lovecraft's old stomping grounds actually. I think it's great to walk the same streets, and have a hilarious story about the first time I tried to visit his grave right before moving here.
I love science fiction. Have a pretty good little collection of old Analog magazines gracing my bookcase.
I'm in two indie, low budget horror films. Got to learn cool stuff to do with makeup and prosthetic pieces.
I'm a (very picky) anime fan.
One of my jobs is in science education enrichment. Grades pre-k through 6. It's amazing.
Not quite "straight-edge" but I live alcohol and drug free (sober)... barring a little bit of nicotine, I do vape. Oh, and lots of caffeine.
Try on a daily basis to evolve and better myself.
Addicted to live metal music. Multiple sub-genres (which can confuse me, if I like it that's really all I need to know).

If you share any of those other interests I'd love to discuss those as well! Always looking for like minded people to chat about new things. I love to learn and I'm not really afraid to admit ignorance of a subject. I don't know a lot about this, but I am wiling to admit that and humble myself enough to ask for guidance.

I'm fascinated by the idea of gaining a new sense. However, I'm doing my best to be patient and not rush into things. Once I get wrapped up in something I have a tendency to overdo it. I'd like to be properly educated enough to be safe while modifying my body. I'm hoping you will be gentle with me and forgive anything stupid I may blurt in my enthusiasm.
