What I Was “Made For”

You can never give thanks enough, even if religious isn’t your jam — I’m trying to reach everyone and anyone here so bear this in mind. This is largely inspired by Greta Gerwig’s Barbie (movie) and Billie Eilish’s What Was I Made For (song). If you’re an educator and care about student’s voice, here I am.

How Much More Needs to Happen for Canada to Wake Up?

A piece on Canada’s reprehensible, colonial history and the realities still being faced by Indigenous communities today — Sitting in my room, scrolling through story after story containing calls to action and recent news of the unmarked graves of residential school students on Instagram, I came to a halt.

We’ve Been Developing Batteries 1,000,000x Slower Than We Could Be.

How machine learning is revolutionizing the guess-and-check methods in material development, experiment design, and testing for batteries — If we made a highlight reel of the things that have helped us get to where we are today during the past 200 years, automation would be a big focus.

Self-Discipline, the Key to Self Mastery

A summary of ideas and insights I had while reading No Excuses! by Brian Tracy — I once had a conversation with a mentor of mine who told me something that I’d never heard before.
