Terms of Use & Disclaimer

Last updated: 10JUL2026

Welcome to my blog. By reading and using this site, you agree to the terms below. Please take a moment to read through them.

About This Blog

This blog is written and maintained by Angelina, a science communicator with a background in biochemistry and molecular biology, graduate training in molecular and computational biology, teaching experience as a professor, and current work as an industry microbiologist.

Educational Purposes Only

Nothing on this blog constitutes medical, health, legal, or professional advice of any kind. Content here is intended for general educational and informational purposes — to help make science more understandable and engaging — not as a substitute for professional consultation.

If you have questions about your health, a medical condition, or any decision that requires expert guidance, please consult a qualified professional directly. Do not delay seeking professional advice, or disregard professional advice, because of something you read here.

Not Professional Advice, Not a Professional Relationship

Reading this blog, commenting on it, or contacting me through it does not create a doctor-patient, teacher-student, consultant-client, or any other professional relationship. Any information I share is general in nature and not tailored to your specific individual circumstances.

My Views Are My Own

The opinions, interpretations, and content on this blog are mine alone. They do not represent the views, positions, or endorsement of any current or former employer, academic institution, or professional organization I am or have been affiliated with. This is a personal, independent project.

Accuracy of Information

I make a genuine effort to ensure the science discussed here is accurate and up to date at the time of writing. However:

  • Science evolves, and information may become outdated.
  • I may occasionally make mistakes or oversimplify complex topics for accessibility.
  • I encourage you to verify important information through primary sources, and I often link to those sources so you can dig deeper.

If you spot an error, I welcome corrections — feel free to reach out at [email protected].

Content Ownership

Unless otherwise noted, all original content on this blog (text, graphics, and images I’ve created) is my own work and may not be reproduced, republished, or distributed without my permission. You’re welcome to share links to my posts, quote brief excerpts with attribution and a link back, or reference my work for educational purposes.

External Links

This blog may link to outside articles, studies, or websites for reference. I don’t control the content of external sites and am not responsible for their accuracy, opinions, or practices (including their privacy practices — see my Privacy Policy for more).

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, I am not liable for any loss, damage, or harm arising from your use of, or reliance on, information found on this blog. You use this site and its content at your own discretion and risk.

Comments

I welcome respectful discussion. I reserve the right to remove comments that are abusive, spammy, or off-topic. Comments reflect the views of their individual authors, not mine.

Changes to These Terms

I may update this page as the blog evolves. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent version. Continued use of the blog after changes means you accept the updated terms.
