I'm Vija and new here. This girl's Visnja, 3rd year doctoral candidate, and working on her dissertation in biochemistry and microbiology. She was a Zeta in undergrad but is an Alpha now thanks to the nice corporate lawyer who finances her everything. So she's been around for a while and there's room for buddies, acquaintances etc.
More info can be found here. I've also set up a drop box that can be used for ic and ooc purposes alike.
