Bio
Hello, I have been on this website for years but am still too much of a wiki-noob to figure things out. I try my best though.

My hobbies include sketchbook drawing, doing exercises in formal logic, reading non-fiction, and writing essays in philosophy. I work in an environmental science lab as a clerk who assigns the methods to the samples for the analytical chemists to do their wizardry.

I identify as a strong supporter of scientific skepticism, and critical thinking. I am a masters student in philosophy and I hold a BA in psychology, my interests are primarily in cognitive science, epistemology, logic, philosophy of science, and philosophy of mind.

My psychological education had a heavy emphasis on developmental psychology and cognitive psychology/neuroscience so I am somewhat knowledgable in those particular fields.
