🔬About Me 🔬
I'm a booktuber and science writer/communicator with a PhD in Biomedical Engineering, which means I'm on YouTube to either talk about books or science (or both). okidokiboki is my own personal channel to talk about books and whatever other stuff I'm in the mood for (it's also where I do nonfiction book club with Nicole from sweeneysays). But I also work on other science YouTube shows and podcasts. You can find me in a bunch of other places including Crash Course: Organic Chemistry and the Tiny Matters podcast. I also write for (and occasionally host) the show Journey to the Microcosmos. You can find links to these shows and my social media below:
