Hello everyone!
My name is Alex, and I am happy to be joining the Steemit community! A good friend of mine told me about all of the positive and interesting stories that are shared on here and I knew that I wanted to contribute. So here I am!
That photo was taken before my first day of attending university here in San Diego. I study Biochemistry and am constantly fascinated with things on the micro scale.
Speaking of which, I always am humbled by how much can be observed through a microscope. It really makes me pause and think about how intricate life is. Here are some of my favorite photos taken in a few of my classes:
The first two images are of Lactobacillus bacteria that I cultured for a Biology class, and the third one is of a root cap from a plant we grew throughout the term. As I mentioned, I am happiest while learning about tiny things, and that interest extends into nature as well! I love collecting mushrooms from forests and trying to identify them. Here are a few of my favorite pictures from a scavenge back in January.
Aren't they beautiful?!
I also spend most of my time studying in a space ship. Here is my campus library!
My school is my life right now, and I have been fortunate enough to make a few friends through an on campus job that I secured last term.
They definitely help me pull through tough times when studies become a bit overwhelming.
Yoga also helps with de-stressing and I volunteer at a studio for trade!
I have a soft spot in my heart for cats and dogs as well. Here is my baby Kiba.
He doesn't let me study!
My dad's pit:
I've been thinking about how I want to contribute to this community, and I think that I would enjoy making a Science series centered around chemistry. I love spreading new ideas and findings from this area, so any input would be welcome!
If you have made it this far, thank you for taking a minute to catch a glimpse of my life. At times, studies can be overwhelming, but balancing stress with positivity is a great way to stay healthy.
See you around!

Nice to see you on steemit :D
Have a great day.
Thank you bud! I just made my first science mini-lecture if you'd be interested in learning a bit about atoms and molecules!
Welcome on Steemit! Hope you're making a good time on this wonderful community. it maybe hard at first but with right attitude we can make it here, Here is my 7 reasons that low/no payout is not the reason to quit on Steemit
Thank yo so much for that! I really appreciate the tips! Followed!

Very cool! The mushrooms are beautiful!!Looking forward to more posts!
Thank you! I love finding the little guys in the forest!
Me too!!! I live in a wooded area so I see them pop up everywhere! We went camping years ago and I was just amazed at all of the different colors and sizes of mushrooms!!
It's wonderful to meet you. You seem like a very focused, inquisitive, and interesting person. Wish you the very best in your education and beyond!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I definitely am trying to find my way in the world of science! It definitely brings me joy to learn about things that we can't see with the naked eye.
Welcome to Steem @battlr I have upvoted and sent you a tip
Wow thank you!
Welcome to Steem! Enjoy this wonderful and creative place.
I already am! And the community has been overwhelmingly amazing!
Thank you! Im finding that I already am!
Welcome to Steemit captain. <3
Thank you buddy! Glad to be here <3
Welcome klye-friend!
Thank you kindly! Any friend of Klye is a friend of mine. Except for hookers.
Such a happy woofer!! Awesome space ship, great to see another balanced individual on steem it.
Hope you enjoy your time here! <3
Thank you friend! Sophie is always a happy camper. Shes afraid of kittens and doesn't like to walk on cold surfaces.
I hope sophie likes the soft pettings. :)
Indeed! But not before running circles in the yard for an hour or so.
Welcome brother! Thank you for being unique and positive. We need others like you! Namaste
Thank you so much! I think it is super important to find a positive community. The doors to my yoga studio seem to be a ward from negativity, and everyone inside just wants to build everyone up. I think I might have found the internet equivalent of that. Followed, brother!
You are soo kind brother! Let's support each other as we continue to experience the now :)
I am going to follow both of you, upvoted your comments too. I love the positive energy that exudes from your comments. Keep it up. I am usually dealing with very dark and ugly truths as an investigative journalist and could use some positive energy to counter the heavy subjects I deal with. Namaste to both of you!
Welcome to steemit. It's a great place to be and many amazing people. Hope you enjoy it here as much as I do.
Really great introduction and I found your photos very interesting 😊
It's not every day you see things trough a microscope.
Love the "space" office it looked very cool.
I love animals too, cool that you included them
Followed Upvoted and Resteemed
Thank you for the warm welcome!
I am already overwhelmed at this community, everyone has been so kind and I am grateful to share a piece of my life with you all. I am happy that you like these photos, and I only hope to inspire the humbling and introspective thoughts that come from seeing a world within our world.
Thank you so much! I've also followed you!
You are welcome 😊 I know what you mean
I feelt the same way when I first got here.
So many amazing people who have been so supportive and friendly.
This is what it's all about, supporting and helping each other.
Have a great day and I wish you all the best
Can't wait for the science series.
Are you a mycologist? or just amateur? Either way, awesome!
Definitely an amateur mycologist. Ive cultured a few species in the lab and have had a couple home experiments as well!
Terima kasih teman yang baik untuk bertemu anda @battlr
yang terbaik dan menakjubkan.

Welcome to the community Alex! Gorgeous photos by the way :) I operate a rescue home for severely abused and burned pets, I wrote an into article about it a few days ago <3
Steemit is a wonderfully supportive and encouraging community, you will enjoy it here :) I know what it's like to be the new kid, so I am here to tell you I will sit with you at lunch ;) I post a lot of "Minnow" support and tips for newbies, so please feel free to check out my older posts, and if you have any questions please ask :)
Great to have you join! I look forward to reading your posts :)
Hello friend! Thank you for the warm welcome!
It makes my heart happy to hear that you are helping the hurt little ones! Glad that there are people like you in the world.
I am already getting the vibe that this community is amazing. I am overwhelmed with the positivity and support.
I have no clue what Minnow is, I will look into it. If you wanna give me a TLDR that would be neat too!
Followed! <3
So there's Minnow, Dolphins, and Whales. All new kids are considered minnows- we're small fish in the big Steemit sea. Whales are the top of the Steemit food chain- one Whale upvote on your post can give you hundreds of dollars. A Dolphin is in the middle.
Are you registered on DiscordApp chat yet? If not, do so immediately. There are plenty of chat rooms in Discord for any niche- there's radio, a fiction workshop, and many niche specific projects, you can promote your posts and get to know fellow Steemians and find followers, and there is a ton of help- PAL room, or Peace Abundance and Liberty is the best place to start. Lots of cool cats to provide minnow support :)
Steemit Chat is another chat room, but once you go Discord you won't go back- yes, it's that good :)
Get started with Discord- I don't want to overwhelm you, there's a lot you will soon come to realize! And we can go from there :)
Ah yeah I use discord! Ill get on it! Thank you for explaining all of this. A lot of the terminology is familiar to me from when I used to troll BTC gambling sites.
Sweet! Womderful meeting you, and I look forward to adventuring on this great Steemit journey with you :)
Congratulations @battlr!
Your post was mentioned in the hit parade in the following categories:
Oh wow! I cant believe it! Thank you so much!
Welcome to steemit ... your introduction is very impressive... many blessings to you.
Thank you very much! Followed <3
Great followed back
Hey! I'm new to Steemit as well! Loved reading your intro! I heard about that amazing library but I haven't had a chance to see it in person yet. That's cool you're studying biochemistry!
Welcome to the both of us then! I upvoted your intro! You got some rad pictures on there as well!
I would definitely recommend seeing the library at some point, it is amazing. It was constructed by William Pereira, who is famous for constructing the Transamerica Pyramid in San Francisco. The library is named after Theodore S. Geisel, who you have heard of. The S stands for Seuss! He was a San Diego local and would brainstorm for his books on campus!
Followed as well!
Upvoted and also resteemed :)
I look forward to reading some chemistry posts. I am following you to add you to my feed.
I just posted my first mini-lecture! Still working out the details and format, but it is a good start I think!

Ahh. The UCSD science library. Welcome to steemit
Yes! The Theodore S. Geisel library, named after Theodore and Audrey Geisel. The S stands for Seuss, as Dr. Seuss would come to our campus for inspiration for his books! The library was also in the movie Inception!
