My life condensed into variably interesting posts on the internet

Welcome to Re: Life 👋 !

I’m Aaryan - currently a sophomore at Stanford diving headfirst into a world of microbiology, hardware, and mild sleep deprivation.

You just stumbled on the weird corner of the internet where I chronicle my life. In every post, I share three quick updates from my life, two links to noodle on, and one idea to reflect on for the week.

Let’s begin.



🎬 Three Speedy Updates 🎬

// Still reading, thinking, and writing about viruses — just published an immersive piece on how we fall short discovering new microbes.

// Continuing research at the Bollyky lab, currently engineering E. coli to express human interleukin 1 (hIL-1), an important immune signaling protein.

Windswept selfie from Stanford’s Hopkins Marine Station (thanks to Darrell and the team for making this possible)!


// Studying for finals….spending the rest of my time reading Ned Block’s philosophy, learning about marine biology in Monterey, and scribbling essays from coffee shops.

🎉 Two Random Resources 🎉

Hack Club for Builders
Spend 100 hours working on any project, get flown out for an all-expenses paid summer in SF.

Honeybees Engage in Thermal Warfare
One of the most fascinating biological adaptions I’ve ever seen.


🧠 One Interesting Idea 🧠

Friedrich Nietzsche in a private letter to Franz Overbeck:

Nothing helps; I must help myself or I am finished.


You could win every medal and it wouldn’t solve a thing.

What are you seeking from the world? Are you sure it’s not just a sharper version of yourself?

Best,
Aaryan
