It's also an alias! No worries. This Person Does Not Exist I try to not leave traces online, especially since, with my profession, some people don't like politics or religion being posted everywhere by their engineering or research interns :)

DNA just acts as a blueprint for your body. A soul is something completely different. And no, cells don't reproduce perfectly, even in healthy people. There's just constantly self-repairing mechanisms that compensate for constant biological-thermodynamical entropy and oxidative stress. Tens of...

Thank you! I saw we already interacted on a thread. I'm really excited to see so many friendly people. I already browsed a bit and got really interested in the life/physical sciences section. I'm specifically majoring in biomolecular/cellular engineering with a minor in bioinformatics.. so, to...

I especially think Heavenhome has some good advice on this one. Maybe also try reciting a verse or a personal mantra when you feel obsessive compulsions? It can help you ground yourself and remind you that things are ok. I have found through family and friends suffering from OCD that the...
