Introduction to Space Posts on Project Perseus Welcome to the space category on Project Perseus! This may be my favorite part of the blog....here you will be able to find all sorts of posts about human spaceflight (and perhaps non-human spaceflight too) as well as news about NASA, SpaceX, and other space exploration companies. I am particularly fond of SpaceX's Starship program and have been following it very closely now for about 5 years. I hope you enjoy these posts as much as I do! Thanks for reading!

Introduction to Astrophysics Welcome to the Astrophysics category within Project Perseus. Within this section I will write posts about big-picture topics in the field of physics. As with my Biochemistry posts I will also write posts on specific situations but those will mostly be about topics I come across recently and learn in "real time." Expect posts about James Webb Space Telescope discoveries, evolutions in Black hole models, exoplanets, stars, cosmology, and much more! Where thoughts orbit stars and dreams power suns...
Starting my Summer Research at Ole Miss
Starting my Summer Research at Ole Miss At the time of this writing, it is May 2025 and I have just moved into my apartment at Ole Miss, the affectionate nickname of the University of Mississippi. I was selected to participate in a summer REU (Research Experience for Undergraduates) program working for Dr. Randy Wadkins. His bio and research summary can be found on the previous link. Dr. Wadkins and I met a couple days ago over lunch and we talked about politics, science and other subjects. After researching the man for several months, it was quite an experience to finally meet him in person, as if the picture in his biography suddenly came to life and began talking about all the science I had merely read about from my computer screen. He was much more relaxed in person than I thought he would be, which I thought was a pleasant surprise. Too many times, accomplished scientists come across as pretentious or that they're condescending to lower planes of intellect when they b...
Introduction to Biochemistry on Project Perseus Welcome to the Biochemistry category on Project Perseus! Here. I will attempt to write interesting posts about the subject, including other sub-categories such as molecular biology, cell biology, and the like. You can expect me to write about the future of cancer research, medicine, philosophies of disease treatment, and other big-picture topics. I will, of course, write posts on subjects of a more niche and particular nature, but since I am young in my biochemistry academic and research career, I will simply refrain about writing anything that I currently do not understand. With that, I hope you enjoy reading my content. Cheers! Where thoughts orbit stars and dreams power suns...
Project Perseus Introduction Dear reader, Thank you for visiting the Project Perseus blog. I hope that the topics I write about bring you as much joy as they do for me. The world is a wonderful place...if you know where to look. My goal is to help readers reach that place of finding what's wonderful, beautiful, and captivating in this world by giving you a unique perspective and allowing you to take an innocent look at this universe's beauty. But before I begin, I should address some important questions you undoubtedly have: Who are you? My name is Nathaniel Comstock Moll. I am a current student in the fields of biochemistry, molecular biology, and physics. Outside of the technical aspect of my studies I enjoy writing novels, composing original pieces for the piano, doing some amateur backyard astronomy (sometimes volunteering at my school's local observatory), and now apparently writing blog posts. Essentially, I love to learn and to stay curious; two aspects that have c...
