WELCOME TO MY CORNER OF THE WOODS
Devin
Henrickson
Biology student, researcher, and writer following the trails between human health, scientific questions, and community.
Welcome to the Den
Pull up a log. Stay curious.
I’m Devin—a biology student building toward a future in cancer research. This is my home base for the questions I’m chasing, the papers I’m publishing, and the coursework helping me grow.
Think of it as part field station, part reading room, and part trail journal. Everything here connects back to learning in public and following evidence wherever it leads.
Research Trails
Questions worth following.
My work moves through several connected parts of the forest—from cells and viruses to aging, health, and the communities people build.
AML & Treatment Response
Exploring the cellular mechanisms behind acute myeloid leukemia, remission, relapse, and the search for more effective therapies.
Viruses & Host Cells
Studying how viruses enter cells, replicate, evolve, and interact with the human immune system.
Damage, Repair & Longevity
Following the pathways involved in cellular damage, repair, signaling, and the biology of healthy longevity.
Culture, Safety & Belonging
Examining how communities form, communicate, protect their members, and are understood by the wider public.
Papers from the Pines
Research, ready to read.
A clear home for published papers, working research, downloadable PDFs, and the ideas behind the work.
The Furry Files
A growing research collection focused on furry fandom, community, culture, safety, and public understanding.
Marser Furry Fandom Research
Independent scholarship and documented analysis from Devin’s ongoing research archive.
Coursework & Academic Papers
Completed assignments, original citations, reflections, and downloadable PDFs from the learning trail.
Featured Research Collection
The Furry Files
A dedicated branch of the site for long-form, evidence-based research into furry fandom and the people, questions, and public conversations surrounding it.
This space can hold full papers, source notes, project updates, and plain-language explainers—organized as a collection instead of being buried inside a general blog.
Open The Furry FilesThe Learning Trail
School is part of the story.
The site can show not just where I want to go, but the work, classes, and milestones helping me get there.
Mohave College
Building the scientific, quantitative, writing, and humanities foundation for advanced study.
B.S. in Biology
Deepening laboratory knowledge and developing focused research experience in human disease.
Graduate Research
Working toward a Ph.D. path centered on cancer biology, rigorous inquiry, and meaningful impact.
Notes from the Den
Ideas still growing.
The blog can feel like a field notebook: shorter observations, project updates, school reflections, and the stories behind the papers.
Why I Built a Research Archive
A welcome note about documenting completed work, sharing sources, and making the learning process visible.
