Welcome. It may be useful for you to do a verification/introduction post with the 'introduceyourself' tag. By verify, I mean typically a selfie holding a picture of steemit and date, something like that.

Additionally, since you are called 'the biologist', if you want to write high quality stuff on the subject, feel free to use 'steemstem' tag for better recognition and curation, and join the STEM-field community on steemit.chat (group: steemstem).

Good luck!
