Katherine Mia Evans: The Scientist That Goes to the LAB or the MOUNTAIN 🌍🧬💪

“Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.” - and darling, I chose both! 🔥

By day I am a Synthetic Biology Researcher - yes, the one who plays god in a white lab coat, stitching together the future of life itself 🧪✨ By sunset I am a fitness addict, searching after endorphins like they are the last vial of CRISPR in the universe. And by the turn of midnight, I am probably on a plane to some off-the-beaten-path corner of the globe because wanderlust is my second heartbeat✈️🌎!

The Lab Rat that Lifted Weights (and her Limits)

I grew up in a small town where the most exciting thing to happen was the yearly corn festival (so good luck with that!). I used science - and squats - as my escape. 🏋️‍♀️ Synthetic biology gave me the power to create; fitness taught me how to destroy… limits, stereotypes, and those extra pounds you gain after a week of research requires carbs. 🍕🔬 (Oops).

But the lab felt... small. So, I packed my protein shakes and PCR kits and decided to combine brains, brawn and borders. From hacking my microbiome whilst in Bali 🏝️ to deadlifting in the Northern Lights 🏋️‍♀️💫, I am living proof that brilliance looks better with biceps. (And a tan. 🌞)

An Invader for Gains (and Genome Sequences)

I do not just travel, I invade. 🚀 Every stamp in my passport is an opportunity to:
- Try the local gyms (ever taken a yoga class on a cliff in Bhutan? 🧘‍♀️☠️),
- Eat some "research-approved street food" (read: I ate fried scorpions in Bangkok and I am still alive to tweet about it 🦂📱),
- And collaborate with scientists/founders from across the world because curing diseases never gets to take a holiday... (but I do 😉).

So, Why Should You Follow Me?

• If you want a PhD in being a badass 💥: I’ll show you how to pipette like a boss and out squat the gym bros.
• If you’re thirsty for an adventure 🗺️: My life is basically a Nat Geo documentary+mystery-thriller + biohackers (but with better hair).
• If you believe that science + sweat = save the world 🌱💪: Welcome to the cult.

P.S. My mom still thinks I “play with bacteria,” in my spare time. Well... she is not altogether wrong. 😈 #BiohackerBabesUnite
