The Self Lab is a space for exploring the science and experience of being human.

As a PhD student, I have become increasingly aware of how complex we are, how we think, feel, make decisions, and change over time. This blog is where I explore and document that complexity through both a scientific lens and my own lived experience.

The Self Lab is grounded in curiosity, honesty, and a willingness to keep learning. I approach self-discovery in a similar way to science. I try things, observe what happens, reflect, and adjust. Not everything works the first time, in science or in life.

Through this blog, I bring together those reflections, including my thoughts on the mind, personal growth, and the realities of academic life. While these ideas come from my own journey, I share them in the hope that others may relate to them.

What begins as a personal journal is intended to grow into a space for connection and, eventually, a community of people exploring themselves together.
