About me

What are my accomplishments? (proven merit) My education includes graduate level degrees in chemistry, biochemistry and computation (health informatics). My research publications as first and/or corresponding author (2013-present) are in domains of neuroscience, neurological diseases, cancers, stem cells, neurotoxicity and heavy metal toxicity. These publications utilised techniques of molecular biology, biochemistry, bioinformatics, genomic/omics, statistics, machine learning, AI, natural language processing and network analysis. I have published papers (2013-present) in and reviewed papers (2020-present) for, @Nature https://www.nature.com/siteindex, @FrontiersIn https://www.frontiersin.org/journals and @ElsevierConnect https://www.elsevier.com/products/journals (Cell Press) tier 1 highly cited high impact family of journals in addition to others.

What are my soft skills? (skills that have helped me achieve my proven merit) To put it simply, my soft skills are rooted in my passion for knowledge work. 'Give me problems, give me work, give me the most abstruse cryptogram or the most intricate analysis, and I am in my own proper atmosphere' quote from Sherlock Holmes, The Sign of Four by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. My research experience has potentiated my ability to plan, problem-solve and perform intricate scientific experiments to unravel novel discoveries. My experience in scientific communication through presentations and publications, has honed my ability to convey complex ideas and technical information in a concise and accessible manner. Taken together, I am confident my proven merit and work ethics, make me an ideal candidate to contribute to your organization's success and create tangible value.

What is my foundational work ethic? (FAIR basis of knowledge work) In the field of science, being FAIR and conducting fair/honest research is a crucial practical skill for any scientist to possess. I learned about this concept from my guru Captain Cook (one of three mentors, along with Rene Descartes and Friedrich Schiller), who emphasized the importance of revealing truths even if that meant going against pre-existing unproven dogma and majority opinion, as evidenced by Captain Cook's world map which even his rivals of the time the Dutch and French appreciated and used fairly after Royal National Geographic published it. This scientific process, was established by my other guru, Rene Descartes, during a time when speculation and subjectivity were becoming science. To combat this, Rene developed a logic and reason-based method for obtaining objective truths, as outlined in his work "Discourse on the Method" (French title: Discours de la méthode). It is important to recognize the importance of FAIR research practices because science uses pre-existing science, so if fake science is incorporated into knowledge space then research built on it will also be faulty. In summary, ‘Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.’--quote John Keats. ref: FAIR (findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability) | Nature Journal https://www.nature.com/articles/sdata201618 ref: FAIR (findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability) Framework | EMBL-EBI https://www.ebi.ac.uk/about/news/perspectives/fairification-framework-making-your-data-findable-accessible-interoperable-and-reusable
