I divide my time between academic translations, translations of movies and tv shows, occasional copywriting gigs, and writing popular science articles.

Besides that, I'm a PhD student at the Cognitive Science Department of the Institute of Philosophy at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland - cognitive enhancement, the quantified self, and biohacking are among my main academic interests.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea. I have several friends from different countries who regularly host people and all of them recommended I gave it a try.

Interests

A lot of things that are bridging the gap between humanities and sciences, in the spirit of John Brockman's "The Third Culture".

Futurology, possibilities of the NBIC paradigm (nano, bio, info, cognitive), consequences of human enhancement, the evolution of technology.
