Hi! I am Elizabeth Jenkins El, but you can call me Lizzy!

I am a human who believes in growth. In the kind that happens in labs, on planes, in conversations, and in the quiet moments in between.

I am a teacher who believes every child deserves a village, and that it's all of our job to build it.

I am a dreamer who believes the most interesting life is the one you keep showing up for.

This is where I write about the chemistry of everyday life, the activation energy it takes to start something new, the reactions that change us, and the lessons that come from people, not textbooks.

Pull up a stool.
