| - | I'm a Genetics student at the University of Edinburgh, now fast approaching my final year of uni. I'm originally from Belgrade, Serbia, but have been in Scotland for 8 years - almost long enough to call myself a native (the fact that I've started liking whisky and haggis are definite warning signs). iGEM is my first ever proper science project, and I'm really excited about it :)

| - | I love anything that's maths and logic related, evolutionary theory, genetics / genomics, making multi-coloured animals (have you seen how cute green mice look? kangaroos are the next natural step. well, ok, maybe not natural as such, but you know what I mean...), the philosophy of quantum physics (the fact that it's philosophy means you get the fun mind-bending ideas without actually having to understand the scary physics equations), Italian, political theory, sitting in pubs with philosophers arguing about morals and reality.

| |
| - |
| |
| - | '''Travelling''' as much as possible, to places as varied as possible. Ideally learning lots of stuff and meeting lots of interesting people along the way
| |
| - |
| |
| - | '''Fundraising and campaigning''': I did face-to-face fundraising for a while as a summer job, and it's seriously addictive!
| |
| - |
| |
| - | '''Edinburgh University Philosophy Society''': I became president about 3 months ago, sort of a natural climax since PhilSoc has been taking over my life for years.
| |
| - |
| |
| - | '''Fire spinning''': it gets you to beautiful places, allows you to meet beautiful people, and it's a lot less dangerous than it looks. I do poi, staff, and I recently acquired a fire whip :)

| - | '''Massage therapy''': I'm qualified to do Swedish and Thai massage. I'd love to learn more - I guess I'll just have to do a tour of massage schools around the world :)
| |
| - |
| |
| - | '''Pole dancing''': no, not profesionally, I just get lessons. It's more fun than going to the gym, I claim it's very feminist (and have a good justifying argument for that claim), plus it's fun to watch people's expressions when I mention it as a hobby.

| |
| - | '''Playing guitar''': badly. But it's fun.
