This is a test marginnote. If this worked you will see a copy of my headshot. I'm not sure how large this image will appear, I hope it's reasonably sized.
{{% /marginnote %}} There are many unstudied curiosities regarding the innate immune response to _Histoplasma spp._ and other intracellular fungi that I think are quite interesting. Stay tuned, hopefully there is a major breakthrough to report here someday.

Besides my science, I am interested in birding, baking sourdough bread (I swear I began years before the pandemic, though hearing of people baking bread brings me joy no matter when they first began!), board games, roasting coffee, and self-hosting free and open source software. Over the course of the pandemic, I have learned how to maintain a basic suite of services on a server I rent that have replaced my need for Google Photos and Google Drive.

I love marginalia. I'm not sure if this is unique to me, but I seem to get caught up in parenthetical / tangential thoughts very often, and I think using an [Edward Tufte-esque](https://www.edwardtufte.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=0000ld) sidenote is a great way for me to communicate in this way without distracting the reader too much. It seems[ marginalia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marginalia) such as this has been used throughout history for this purpose for some time. The implementation I use is inspired by the [Tufte CSS project](https://github.com/edwardtufte/tufte-css) and largely taken from [this incredibly helpful post found at scripter.co](https://scripter.co/sidenotes-using-only-css/).

*** The future of this site.
On this site I plan to post updates about my journey through med school, grad school, and self-hosting I would like to share with the world. I have been helped immensely by many others' advice and I hope to impart similar tips to others someday. I suspect most posts will be about much lighter fare, like whatever hobbies tickle my fancy at the time.
