A personal archive of lab reports and essays exploring biology, sustainability, and plant science.

About

Hello, I’m Raphael, a Biology undergraduate at the University of Aberdeen.

This website is a collection of my academic pieces, created as a way to organise my work and reflect on what I’m learning throughout my degree.

I’m particularly interested in biotechnology and plant biology, and I hope this portfolio can act as an up-to-date record of my development in these subject areas.
