🤓Fun Fact: When I'm not analyzing data, I read a lot of books, hoard them, watch a lot of movies, and analyze more film plots on Letterboxd @manicindisguise(＾▽＾) 📊➡️🎬
PS: Currently reading Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir (microbiologists would especially LOVE it). The movie trailer blew me away… can’t wait to see if the movie is better than the book, or if the book wins out as always.
If you like a lot of science in your science fiction, Andy Weir is the writer for you....
