Mete Esencan
Hello everyone! I’m Mete Esencan. I am a graduate student in the Department of Chemistry at METU. I was planning to establish a platform by combining the research knowledge I gained during my basic science education and the management experience I gained in the METU Chemistry Society, which I was in charge of for three years. For this purpose, in February of 2021, I took the first step and established the Nature Philosopher, a platform where we can write articles as if to chat about science, art and philosophy. I wish everyone a pleasant reading!View His Posts

Batuhan Kav
I am starting again to write my articles on the subjects that fall within the theoretical physics-chemistry-biology triangle, which I have been taking a break for many years. For the last ten years I have been doing theoretical and computational work on proteins, lipid membranes and their possible biological functions. In this process, I occasionally publish topics that interest me as popular science articles. My articles have previously appeared on Chemistryblog, Open Science, and Science and Technology for All. I have a BS in chemistry from Bilkent University, an MA in physics from Koç University, and a PhD in theoretical physics from the Max Planck Institute (Germany/Colloids and Interfaces). I am currently working as a researcher on protein aggregation at the Jülich Research Center (Germany).View His Posts
