Hey Laura, it is a pleasure to welcome you to the blockchain!

Steemit is a big community, including all kind of communities (about science, travel, tech, art, photography, blogging, and more) and I am sure you will find it very interesting, entertaining and rewarding to remain here :)

If I may provide some advise, it would be great if you could create an appealing profile and take some time to create an introducing post (please use the tag #introduceyourself & here you can see new posts about users introducing themselves, to get a few ideas)

About your post, I find it very interesting and it does provide value :) However, it is a very long post, without any imagery, so this decreases its visibility and not many people will take the time to read it..

I would like to invite you to take some time and read a few useful links I gathered and it would also be great if you join us at @steemstem, where we support STEM articles : )

You can find steemstem on discord and of course feel free to ask me anything you would like to know!
