Flagship research project • 2026

My primary research project for 2026 examines furry fandom, conventions, culture, safety, and public understanding through careful sourcing and visible limitations.

Curiosity lives here.

I’m building toward a future in research, with interests in cancer biology, viruses and host cells, aging, space biology, and community-focused work.

This site brings my research, selected coursework, and field notes together in one public archive. It also shows the trail between a question and a finished paper—the sources, uncertainty, revisions, and wrong turns that are part of learning.

Science, stories, and one very curious brain.

I’m Devin, a biology student at Mohave College with a long-term interest in cancer research and human disease. This field station is where I document what I’m learning, the questions I’m following, and the work that grows from them.
