Why this exists

When I started learning about research and academia, I wished there was a single place that explained everything clearly — from the basics of statistics to how to write a compelling abstract, from understanding scientific papers to thinking critically about data.

This is my attempt to create that space. A place where beginners can find practical guides alongside deeper explorations of the topics I find fascinating: neurobiology, decision-making, and the science behind how we think and behave.

I'm Shiara Arauzo — a design engineer and researcher based in Peru. I work at the intersection of product design and research, always curious about how things work and why people behave the way they do.
