About Me

Hi my name is Lillian, my day consists of researching at Liggins Institute/University of Auckland for my PhD, teaching in undergrad biology lab class, planning events for Chiasma, petting my dog, hanging out with friends, and playing sports like soccer, lacrosse, and hockey.
Myspace is great for listening to music and discovering new bands, always amazed with the local Auckland scene, and wish a lot more people can get into it. Even me!
I really wish I could go travelling for the rest of my life, but not unless I win lotto (or instant kiwi). Slowly I'll work my way around the world!
So anyway, hello! Thanks for stopping by. Have fun and be safe out there!
