Note: This summer, I’ll be at Tokyo University researching biosensors at the Goda Lab.

Currently brewing up plans to host another Re: Life meetup in Tokyo — shoot me a message if you’re in the area and are interested in joining us!

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.

// Published more writing, including several reflections on Substack and a piece on why we can’t figure out how to count viruses. More work is on its way.

What an electrifying tree! (Still not sure why my face looks like that…)

// Wrapped up spring break and starting a new quarter at Stanford. Currently taking organic chemistry, vector calculus, and Chinese buddhist painting (because science without art is lonely!)

// Exploring random buildings in Engineering Quad, practicing karate more seriously, and walking around Palo Alto with my dorm mates!


Thiel Fellowship
$100,000 for young people working on ambitious ideas.

The Ninth Wave
No one painted the ocean like Ivan Aivazovsky. If you’ve never seen his work, you’re missing something important.

Japanese author Haruki Murakami on the volatility of life:

Life is not like water. Things in life don’t necessarily flow over the shortest possible route.


Is all your effort failing? Or are you simply not giving your actions enough time to work their magic?

Best,
Aaryan
