Welcome to the Parea section of my blog! Parea is a Greek word that refers to the notion of friends gathering to share their experiences and learn. With this part of the blog, I aim to build community around STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) topics.
I’ve found that my most memorable learning experiences — whether that be in programming, chemistry, or bioengineering — have come from taking the initiative to explore a topic through content and tutorials online, in the form of blog posts, YouTube videos, and online communities.
While I mainly write about emerging research in biology, engineering, and medicine (I am a biomedical engineering major after all haha), I’ll also share my experiences working on various engineering projects, as well as resources that have helped me dive into STEM subjects.

Why Stem Cells Fascinate Me and Why I Hope They Fascinate You Too!
When I scroll through medical research articles and science news, one topic continues to pop up: stem cells. Hence, I decided to learn more about stem cells and why they’re important to medical research… as described in this article! First…
Parea Resource: Learning Math
As part of my Parea Resource Collection, I’ll be posting resources to help explore STEM-centered subjects. Today’s category is pretty broad: math. I’ll continue adding resources, and this will likely branch off into different categories in the future… Anyways, this…
Self-Reliant Learning: Achieving Growth Through Initiative
I think that the greatest ability of any species is the ability to learn. Learning is fulfilling; when we acquire a new skill and discover our passions, it instills a sense of pride and serves as a boost of confidence…
