Hi and welcome!
Some facts about me:
I have explored human behavior and perception (mainly in the area of mating) from multiple angles: social (MSc), cognitive (MS), and evolutionary (Ph.D.). (See here and here).
I speak Turkish, English, and Dutch (I am working on improving this one though:) ).
I love stories (fiction and non-fiction), they let me step into another world, all from the comfort of my couch!
Thanks to my game-loving spouse, I discovered a whole new genre that perfectly matches my passion for stories: visual novels. We even tried our hand at creating a short one together in 2020, called Arranged!
Previously, I wrote here about data analysis, covering topics like using Python, preparing data, and creating visualizations. While an analytical mindset remains a core part of who I am, my attention is now shifting toward stories. This transition feels natural; after all, data analysis has always been a tool rather than the destination for me.
Building on this shift of focus, I’ll be sharing my thoughts on various media such as books, journals, and newspapers that I’m reading and the visual novels I’m playing here.
Expect a blend of personal opinion, scientific curiosity, and a love for stories across genres and cultures.
Thanks for joining me on this journey. I hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoy exploring these worlds!
