Welcome to Steemit (again) @sungazer13 :)
You seem like a really multi-talented guy! I'm really passionate about science too and one of my buddies got accepted to pharmacy school over here at the University of Washington! I'll give you a follow so we can discuss science sometime!
I'm actually pretty new to Steemit and joined last week! I gained more than 100 followers in that time! Check out this post if you wanna learn how I did it https://steemit.com/steemit/@blaisep/how-to-gain-over-100-followers-in-less-than-1-week-on-steemit
I hope you find some value in it and can implement some of the principles to grow your own account!
