• 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.

    xkcd comic #435 – “Purity”

    Strangely, I’ve been thinking of this very notion a lot recently.  It’s neat how the different sciences operate on different scopes, and how they’re related by this hierarchy.  Awesome!

    NOTE: There is more to this comic than meets the eye… you must go to the site to hover over the comic and read the punchline!
