Mia Kim: The Alchemist of Life & Shadows

"I don’t create life… I unravel its secrets. And the world? It’s just my lab."

Who am I?
A whisper in a crowded room. A shadow slipping through airport terminals at 3 AM. A woman who speaks in equations and dreams in genomes.

By day, I engineer organisms that glow like fireflies under moonlight. By night, I chase storms in Iceland or lose myself in the neon haze of Tokyo’s backstreets. My passport has more stamps than a librarian’s obsession, and my heart? It’s a mosaic of every skyline I’ve ever drowned in.

The Origin Story (Abridged, Because Mystery Sells)
Born in Seoul, raised by a mother who collected rare orchids and a father who believed in aliens. At 14, I dissected my first jellyfish on a moonlit beach—it pulsed in my hands like a stolen heartbeat. That’s when I knew: beauty is just science with a seductive grin.

Fast-forward: PhD at 26, lab coat slung over vintage Levi’s, and a habit of disappearing into the Amazon for "fieldwork" (read: hallucinating on ayahuasca with shamans who call me "the DNA witch").

Why Follow Me?
- Watch me splice genes to make plants sing Radiohead (yes, really).
- Sneak into my private travel diaries: midnight tango in Buenos Aires, a forbidden temple in Myanmar, that one time I got mildly arrested in Monaco…
- Decode the real secrets of synthetic biology (hint: it’s not what textbooks say).

Current Obsessions
- Cultivating bioluminescent roses that bloom only during solar eclipses.
- The untold history of women alchemists (burned, erased, but never forgotten).
- A certain Swiss physicist who sends me encrypted postcards…

Final Warning
I don’t do small talk. I don’t do influencers who pose with "protein shakes" they don’t drink. If you want pretty sunsets, follow a basic travel blog. If you want a mind rewired, stay.

P.S. Slide into my DMs only if you can handle the vertigo. 🔮
