Marine Officer, DJ, Entrepreneur, and Scientist... Hello Steemit :) my name is Blaise!

in #introduceyourself8 years ago (edited)

People always talk about how they want to change the world...

I will actually do it.

Hello Steemit :)  My name is Blaise Pascual. I was born at the same hospital as Barack Obama in Kenya Honolulu, Hawaii. 

I'm a senior at the University of Washington studying Microbiology. I will be graduating at the end of next week. My senior thesis is titled "The Implications of Genetic Mutagenesis and Human Health". 

I should honestly be working on that instead of writing this post...

Science

I work in a pathology research lab studying the biology of aging tackling diseases, like Alzheimer's and Cancer, with an upstream approach. I gave a talk on my research last week at a research symposium. My lab's work has been featured on the Today Show! 

I LOVE science.

USMC

I graduated from the Marine Corp's 10 week Officer Candidate School program last summer. It was the toughest challenge I've faced in my life thus far. I am scheduled to commission on the 4th of July! I have an aviation contract and I hope to fly on the Prop airframe. 

EDM PLUR

At the beginning of this year I started up an EDM lifestyle brand, edmplur.com. I'm a HUGE fan of EDM and raves! I DJ'd several parties in college and I've even produced a few electronic tracks on my soundcloud. I decided to turn my love for EDM into a side venture and I'm currently focusing on building up a social media following before trying to generate more products.

Steemit is AMAZING

I'm EXTREMELY excited to be apart of the steemit community.  My long term goals are to become an astronaut, a succesful biotech entrepreneur, a mainstage EDM DJ, to live a financially comfortable life, and to document the entire process to serve as a blueprint for others on social media platforms like this! My biggest role models are Sherlock Holmes and Iron Man :)

The first thing I'm going to do after I graduate is continue learning how to code. I'm currently working with Angular 4 and Javascript and I want to learn Solidity then Ionic 2 afterwards! I want to eventually make decentralized applications!

To conclude, I'm REALLY excited to be apart of this community! I'd love to offer as much value as I can to the community and I'm happy to connect and network with all of you!

Thanks @californicajun :)
You've got quite a great outlook too!

Welcome to SteemIt!
I Am excited about our future interactions my friend! :D You certainly have an exciting future ahead! I am excited to watch it unfold :D

Welcome man! Looks like you're on the right path with all of your stuff. Tackling Alzheimer's is one of the original visions with my parent company (Brain Smart Success) but it's a longer term play when it comes to finding the right research + products/lifestyle changes to either offset it or to completely eliminate it.

Looking forward to seeing more of your stuff man.

Thanks for reaching out to me Blaise,

I need to get my friend on this website, she loves to photograph things under the microscope and she wants to start blogging. Steemit would be the perfect launch pad for her as a brainiac! I would believe you'd really appreciate her work as someone who is studying Microbiology!

Andreas

Welcome to Steemit! Feel free to share more about your thesis, if you care to. I'm a bit of a science nerd with a BS in Biology, and enjoy reading about research. Thanks for posting!

Hello Blaise! Andrew from Spokane here.

Is Blaise Pascual your actual name? If so, I really love it! Even if it's just a pseudonym of sorts, it's pretty cool. Based on my knowledge of surnames in the Philippines, your last name is Filipino, is it not?

Congrats on your entry into the world of Steemit, and I look forward to seeing you post more good stuff!

Welcome to Steemit! Sure you will make it good on here.. @wassa :)

Awesome introduction! PLUR ✌️🤝🙏📿

Good luck with the coding!

awesome!
Going to check out some of your tracks soon, very excited to meet you! :)

Definitely excited to see what you come up with heading down the road. Thank you for your service, I genuinely hope you reach each and every one of your goals.
I hear your have to be in really good shape to be an astronaut. Good thing you probably spent your childhood chasing cheetahs, yea? Haha
