Hello everybody,

I am a biophysics major and want to develop nanotechnology with medical applications (cancer treatment, stroke rehabilitation, correction of heritable diseases). My path has not been easy, I was an underachiever for most of my life and only got back on track by the time I was 26. I have sensory processing disorder (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_processing_disorder) so the reason I learn physics is actually to use math to compensate for my own lack of sense about the world. I find the field beautiful beyond words because it is a self-consistent description of the universe that we observe with our senses. As a skeptical person I simply cannot take something at face value, and physics provides multiple forms of validation for the things we experience in our lives.

I have a lot I want to learn here and hopefully I can be of some help! Nice to meet you all!
