Hi! My name is Elliott Weix. Aspiring researcher, tabletop game enthusiast, and avid reader. I study biochemistry and mathematics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. For the last three years, I've also done synthetic biology research in the Coyle lab.
When I’m not in the lab or classroom, I’m usually curled up in a chair reading a book or finding new ways to break my computer. I also play a variety of board games. I like going for walks, mountain biking, and spending time outdoors.
Things I'm doing right now: Summer research and lots of cloning. Biking with friends. ACS journal club. Testing out fun tools on the computer. Reading more.
