Dividing lines: discretizing contineous scales for our ease Dividing lines in University: Throughout my education, I tried to have a large scope of anything I do. The “Big Picture” matters to me and I usually define broad lines; the What?, the Why?, and the How? are always scrutinized ahead of every task. I have also always believed in grey zones and multi-disciplinarity. My undergraduate degree was in Biochemitrsy, a field that is at the borderline between Biology and Chemistry.

Research Science, Med School & Engineering I was always fascinated with Science. The Why and How intrigue me. As a child, I would sit and watch toy mechanisms to draw out how they function and would disassemble broken toys before discarding them to see what they contained. The research scientists with their white lab coats and pipettes were an image I often romanticized. I knew at a very early age that I’d be a researcher, to the disappointment of my parents who like most other arab parents, prefered professions like Medicine or Engineering.
