Most of what I learn happens in places that aren't built for an outside reader — lab meeting notes, half-finished notebooks, Slack threads with my mentors. This blog is an attempt to take that material and actually explain it, the way I wish more of it had been explained to me when I started.
I'll mostly be writing about the research itself: the modeling decisions, the dead ends, and the moments where a result surprised me. Some posts will be technical. Some will just be reflections on what it's like doing this kind of work as a high schooler.
