How does light become something we see?
Exploring the connection between lenses, eyes, and perception.
Optics × BiologyA space for curiosity
Life is full
of questions.
Let’s explore.
Hi, I’m Claire. I’m curious about living things, the physics behind them, and the connections we’re still discovering.
Explore my notebookA little biology. A little physics. A lot of curiosity.

A little about meFollowing curiosity,
Following curiosity,
one question at a time.
I’m Claire Guo Guo. Biology and physics are two subjects I love exploring. This notebook is a place to keep asking questions, try things out, and reflect on what I learn along the way.
Introduction draft — to be rewritten in Claire’s own words.

A future space for community experiences, collaboration, and the small moments that help me grow. Entries will be added as there are real stories to share.
Eight ways to explore / Interactive models
Change something. Discover something.
Explore light, living systems, and chance. Make a prediction, try the controls, and keep a note of what you notice.

Simplified teaching models · Your notebook stays in the playground tab until you download it.The living notebook / Biology · Human biology · Physics
Collecting questions about life.
From a single cell to the signals inside us, there is so much to understand. This is a space for questions I could explore, experiments I could try, and ideas I want to explain in my own words.
Draft introduction · Claire will shape this space with her own work and voice.
01 / Biology
A tiny world, full of questions.
How can a model help me explore the structure of a cell?
Possible exploration · Not completed workOpen the exploration idea
Sketch a cell model, label its parts, and compare two different ways of representing it. Which features does each model leave out?
02 / Neuroscience
Following a signal.
What could a simple model show about the path from a sensation to a response?
Possible exploration · Not completed workOpen the exploration idea
Build a paper map of a sensory pathway using a trusted biology reference. Mark what the model explains and what it oversimplifies.
03 / Human biology × Physics
The rhythm within.
How do structure, movement, and signals connect in the human heart?
Possible exploration · Not completed workOpen the exploration idea
Compare an anatomical illustration with a conceptual pulse waveform. Write down the different questions each picture helps you ask.
Think like an explorer.
A repeatable format for documenting real work as it happens.
