Real Name: Emma Treadgold
Description: I have lived in Auckland, New Zealand my whole life. I am currently doing a BA/BSc conjoint in Biology, Computer Science and Anthropology and aim to eventually get my PhD, focussing on genetics and biological anthropology, doing research in both fields, and hopefully mixing the two. I have always been an active member of discussions relating to philosophy, politics, literature and science. I love writing and investigating the world and the universe in as many ways as I feel able, and expressing my findings and ideas both empirically and creatively.
