Evelyn Fiona Brooks: The Synthetic Biology Explorer Who Defies Limits 🌍🧬✨

"Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass—it’s about dancing in the rain… and then genetically modifying it to glow in the dark." 💃🔬

Hey, I’m Evelyn—or as my lab mates call me, "The Chaos Catalyst." I’m a Synthetic Biology Researcher by day and a wild-hearted travel adventurer by… well, whenever I can escape the lab. My life? A rollercoaster of petri dishes, passport stamps, and proving that women in STEM can be unapologetically fierce. 🚀

From Lab Rat to Trailblazer: My Unfiltered Journey

Picture this: A 22-year-old me, drowning in student debt, working three jobs just to afford ramen and lab supplies. I was the "quiet one" in the corner, pipetting my dreams into tiny tubes while everyone else partied. But I had a fire—a stupid, stubborn belief that I could rewrite the rules of biology. 🔥

Fast forward through all-nighters, failed experiments (so many…), and one emotional breakdown in a -80°C freezer… and here I am. Published papers, keynote speeches, and a lab coat that’s seen more countries than most people’s suitcases. 💼✈️

Why Follow Me?

• I make science sexy. (Yes, CRISPR can be hot.) 🧬💋
• I travel to the weirdest places—think bioluminescent beaches and hidden research labs in the Alps. 🌌
• I’ll show you the raw grind—the rejections, the tears, the "why the hell am I doing this?" moments before the breakthroughs.
• I don’t just work in synthetic bio… I live it. (Ask me about the time I engineered glow-in-the-dark yeast for a rave. 🍄✨)

The Mission

To prove that adventure and ambition aren’t mutually exclusive. To inspire you to chase the impossible—whether it’s a PhD, a startup, or just getting on a damn plane to somewhere new.

Ready to join the chaos? Buckle up. We’re just getting started. 🚀

P.S. I may or may not have a secret project involving bioengineered coffee plants… stay tuned. ☕🧪
