(Mis)Adventures of a Malaysian Mudphud in the land of tea and scones

About the Author

The author of this blog is Shen-Han Lee, a Malaysian postgraduate student currently based in Cambridge, United Kingdom.

He has a soft spot for pop songs and enjoys a decent conversation over a cup of coffee. He is a Dilbert fan, and thinks that Dan Brown’s Angels and Demons deserves more recognition than the Da Vinci Code.

He used to be a major fan of Andre Agassi and thinks that Federer lacks Agassi’s charisma. (although in a head to head, Federer all-round strengths on the serves and returns would definitely overpower Agassi). He also used to be a hardcore foot-drill cadet and skipped his P.E. sessions to practice his taekwondo (which is why he’s now a kaki bangku).

He enjoys the outdoors, hiking and camping. As an avid camper, he spent nearly every single school break going camping and jungle-tracking in many jungles and highlands in the Northern regions of Malaysia. He still remembers how to tie 18 different knots from his scouting days, and his most memorable experience of camping was saving a bunch of lost team mates at 3 am in the middle of a pitch black jungle in Ulu Yam Camp, Selangor.

Shen-Han Lee is a dual-degree MB/PhD student, pursuing a medical degree at the University of London Barts & The London School of Medicine & Dentistry, and a doctoral degree at the University of Cambridge School of Clinical Medicine, focusing on interdisciplinary cancer research at the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Research Institute. He received his BA Honours (Cantab.) degree in Medical Sciences and Natural Sciences (Pharmacology) and completed his pre-clinical medical training at Christ’s College, University of Cambridge. He has also conducted bioengineering research in the field of cardiovascular fluid mechanics and mathematical modelling at Imperial College London, molecular biology research in diabetes at Harvard Medical School, and tissue receptor pharmacology research at the clinical pharmacology unit of the University of Cambridge School of Clinical Medicine.
