Projects with a question behind them.
This is the working center of my academic portfolio: a place for research projects, source-grounded analysis, and the questions I am carrying forward as a biology student.
Research projects
Each project is treated as a record of reasoning. The archive separates evidence from interpretation and gives limitations a visible place in the work.
The Furry Files
Adult-Only vs All-Ages Furry Conventions: Prevalence and Economic Impact
An independent literature review comparing adult-only and mixed/all-ages furry conventions in the United States from 2018–2024. The project examines event classification, prevalence estimates, attendance scale, economic considerations, and the difference between adult-only admission and adult content within an otherwise mixed-age event.
The public overview is intentionally clear about estimates, assumptions, source gaps, and uncertainty. A downloadable PDF and complete source list will be added when the final paper package is ready.
What belongs in the archive
The research record can hold work at different stages without confusing a working paper with a peer-reviewed publication.
Research question
What is being examined, how the key terms are defined, and why the question matters.
Evidence record
Public sources, assumptions, comparisons, methods, and the difference between observed facts and estimates.
Findings & limits
What the evidence supports, what remains uncertain, and what a responsible reader should not infer.
Research directions
The long-term portfolio will follow the scientific subjects I am building toward through biology.
AML & cancer biology
Cellular mechanisms, treatment response, remission, relapse, and better therapies.
Virology
How viruses enter cells, replicate, evolve, and interact with the immune system.
Biology of aging
Cellular damage, repair, signaling, and the biology of healthy longevity.
Space biology
How living systems respond to unusual environments and long-duration spaceflight.
Evidence standard
The goal is not to make every project sound more certain than it is. The goal is to make the reasoning inspectable.
- Use source-specific evidence whenever possible
- Label estimates, assumptions, and scenarios
- Separate findings from interpretation
- State data gaps and possible bias
- Distinguish a review from original research
- Keep ethical and legal questions visible
Archive pathway
A project can move through the archive as it becomes more complete.

Research, organized for curious minds.
This archive collects completed research, source-grounded analysis, and the questions I am carrying forward as a biology student preparing for graduate research.
Featured research
One completed study, with more to come.
The Furry Files
Adult-Only vs All-Ages Furry Conventions: Prevalence and Economic Impact
A structured comparison of adult-only conventions and mixed/all-ages conventions, including event prevalence, attendance scale, economic impact, and the difference between adult-only admission and adult content within an otherwise mixed-age event.
