About me

I’m Joon.

I trained under Dr. Fred Dick at Western University throughout my undergrad and graduate degrees. We did some interesting work, involving a new mouse strain (created in-house with CRISPR-Cas9), epigenetic silencing of repetitive elements and viral mimicry. Currently, I am looking to profile spatially resolved transcriptomes in fibrosing interstitial lung diseases with Dr. Marco Mura also at Western.

More about me

Despite being Korean, I have both first and middle names: Seung and June. It should really be Seungjune, all first name and no middle name. Something to do with a mistake on my first passport application. ‘Seung’ part is challenging. It’s supposed to be as such: . I could have gone with my legal middle name, but my seventh grade self was keen on not being awkwardly misgendered.

Purpose of this blog

I find myself going back to my old code to find some key snippets that I cannot recall. Or it’s some one-off trick that I couldn’t possible retain. It’s a bit of a dumpster dive every time. I hope writing it down here will help me retrieve those easier. This kind of format is apparently called a “digital garden”. The outlook for this blog does not look good given my experience with gardening.

There are some coding “projects” in planning/dev phase that I wouldn’t be able to digitally document otherwise.
