The pursuit of scientific competence has become an objective intrinsic to the human race, perhaps since the Egyptians first developed the numerical system around 2700 BCE. In our infancy, we are constantly surrounded and bombarded by scientific inventions, with the notable amongst us obtaining a real zest for the sciences during our early school years. Those of us who do not have an early enthusiasm for the sciences may choose to pursue them anyway, encouraged by the prospect of having a prosperous career - an absolute necessity according to modern indoctrination.

For some, scientific discovery and innovation invoke true attentiveness to the ever-growing scientific world that, now more than ever, has turned its head toward human sustainability with a focus on the environment; projects such as the ITER show real promise in helping this cause. For others, science is merely a practical route towards a well-paying career, which tends to deviate toward the finance sector. The passion for science often diminishes in our teens and further education due to socioeconomic and financial problems or more commonly from dissatisfaction with the academic and social environment.

Those who study the sciences may also experience intellectual narrowness with little exposure to, for example, prominent authors like Tolstoy and Nabokov; essential ideas of economic theory that dictate our day-to-day life; and different widespread languages and cultures. I too experience this narrowness. The point here is not to belittle science or to discourage its pursuit, but rather to propose that, even within science itself, there is an abundance of different materials and substances to explore, of which a particular aspect may revive the passion for a previously-studied science, or at times even inspire fervour for another.

In a way, this website is a fuel for reigniting my passion for science. Being first and foremost a chemist, and having encountered my fair share of obstacles and nuisances in my degree, I decided to share some of the works I have produced as well as other guidance for what, I believe, makes a good scientist. Through this, I am now also afforded a platform for privately sharing some of my articles, thoughts and ideas - a triumph of freedom in this technological age.
