Not the best at science re: physics, chemistry, and, omg, math (though I did well in geometry which I link to my artistic abilities).

But I enjoy, and follow the Earth & Space sciences in particular. And other areas will catch my attention from time to time .
I sometimes understand fairly complex items, and theories in certain areas.

They tested my IQ as a kid bc I was a preemie who underwent newly already tested, and ready for the general public preemie population who needed it (sucessful) oxygen therapy. I vaguely remember this (the IQ test). I think they found I had a high level of the ability to ?conceptionalize. 🙂👍
