ABOUT

Hi, my name is Julia – I’m a new blogger with a strong interest in STEM, health, and sport. I’ve lived in four different countries: Poland, Singapore, the UK, and the UAE, an experience that has allowed me to meet people from diverse backgrounds, learn different traditions, and immerse myself in a wide range of cultures. Through this blog, I explore where science, medicine, and technology intersect with society, human performance, and daily life. I try to use sport as a lens to better understand the body, science innovations, and the challenges that shape modern health.

I enjoy working in labs, studying stem cells, and regenerative medicine. Still, I’m equally passionate about staying active, whether that’s skiing, playing tennis, wakeboarding, or surfing. This balance between science and sport shapes how I think about the human body: both as a biological system studied scientifically and as something tested, adapted, and pushed in real-world conditions.

Although Singapore and Dubai are not ideal places to pursue my longest passion, skiing, I never gave up hope that one day I would be back to racing. It also pushed me to discover new sports, but most of all to see it from a different perspective. I learned how to combine my interest in sports with my greatest academic passion—Biology. I’ve found it genuinely fascinating to look at sport through a scientific lens. To understand how and why our body performs, don’t get me wrong, I’m still obsessed with skiing and competing, including in international races, but I also try to explore sport from a scientific perspective. This way of thinking has sparked a wider curiosity about how STEM and modern research intersect and shape our everyday lives, from athletic performance to health and beyond.

Over time, my interests have expanded beyond this, now covering a range of topics I’ve encountered along my STEM journey. If you’re interested in stem cells in regenerative medicine, the biology of injury, repair, and aging, genome engineering, 3D bioprinting and tissue engineering, or in exploring how technology reshapes what we consider “natural” biology, just follow my blog.
