Meet the PI


My sona, a guy with a plague doctor's mask for a face

I'm Racecar (he/they), some guy with a biochem degree and too little time on his hands right now. I work on a project studying Alzheimer's Disease pathology using fancy brain organoids that I grow from human tissue. When I'm not in the lab inhibiting microglia or staining neurons I'm drawing or worldbuilding, usually while a shitty horror movie plays in the background. My hair is currently green with a black underlayer and I redye it too often to bother changing my self portrait.

You can also find me on Bluesky, Tumblr, and Ko-fi.
