Hi! I'm Aval, I have a degree in biomedical science, and I started "Trust Me, I'm a Scientist" because apparently having credentials means I'm qualified to tell you that your skeleton is wet right now and there's nothing you can do about it. We're talking cells, genetics, evolution, ecosystems, and why your body decided that wisdom teeth were a good idea and then changed its mind but forgot to update the blueprint. This is science explained with accuracy and the energy of someone who knows too much and has decided it's everyone's problem now. You're made of the same stuff as a banana. Your DNA is held together by weak bonds. Your cells are constantly dying. You're shedding skin cells while reading this. Science is horrifying and we're here for it.
