• Who am I?

    I am Qrystal; or at least, that's my dot-name! Har har. (My name is really Crystal, but that's not as internet-searchable; hence, switching the C for the little-used letter Q.)

    I am here because I enjoy writing. I do this mostly for myself, but I also have a passion for helping others learn things from the things I write. Now that I am done my Ph.D. in Physics, I am stepping away from academic research so that I can indulge in some creative ways to share my knowledge and inspire the appreciation of scientific thinking in others. I am also working as a tutor, which is one of the jobs I've most enjoyed doing in my life so far.

    • Future Voters are Going Green

    They probably think their votes won’t change anything, but if enough people do go vote it will change things.

    I’m glad to hear that the youth of Canada are gearing up to take their voting duties with pride. In the mock election for school-aged kids, Greens tied the Conservatives, which I think says something very important about what the future has in store for the Green Party. I, for one, am glad to see it. I’m willing to bet in agreement with the fellow quoted above (Nikolas Maier, 15), that many people didn’t vote because they thought their vote wouldn’t matter. It’s good that students are being shown that votes add up and can change the world!
