"The good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge."
Bertrand Russell
Hello Steemit community! I would like to start introducing myself by quoting a great British philosopher and mathematician, Bertrand Russell, because I truly believe in these wise words.
I have joined Steemit about month ago, and since I'm completely new at this, hopefully I can count on help and some good advises for beginners from all of you experienced fellows Steemians ;)
I have M.Sc. in Molecular Biology and Ph.D in Biology, and with more than 15 original scientific papers and review articles published during my short scientific career, I consider myself to be successful scientist so far - we'll see what the future brings! Currently my research is dedicated to investigation of molecular mechanisms involved in clonal progression of Multiple Myeloma, which is incurable hematological cancer formed by malignant plasma cells. I truly believe that one day (hopefully in the near future!) we'll be able to help people who is fighting their battles with this malignant disease, and that all my efforts to bring contribution to the scientific community will have a purpose.

Since being a scientist includes lots of hard work and brainstorming, it's equally important to relax and have some good quality fun! For me, traveling is one of the top fun and relaxing activity - I enjoy breathtaking nature, beautiful architecture, trying out tasty foods and meeting new and exciting people.

I also enjoy engaging in activities most of the girls would find uninteresting, like shooting and karting, because the only thing I'm afraid of is not having enough excitement in my life! :)

On Steemit, I expect to make some new friends, and to read a lot good quality post about science and life.
I will try to write about interesting discoveries in life science, and also about life topics I personally consider interesting and which I would like to hear your opinions about.
That's all for now, I wish a Happy New Year to all Steemians and hope that we'll share many good moments together!!!
