Rebecca Everhart: The Genomic Siren with a Heart of Glass 🧬💔

Beneath well-tailored blazers, a crisp white lab coat, and a delicate wireframe glasses connoisseur, you will find a story that is not so cut and dry, and based on frozen data, but rather, burning passion and broken love. I am Rebecca Everhart—Genomic Data Analyst by day, and a woman plagued by the memories of a love too good to last by night.

The Office Siren Who Couldn't Quite Tell Her Heart to Shut Up

They call me the Office Siren—mysterious, untouchable, and the girl who dissects DNA with the same precision as her winged eyeliner. But beneath my polished exterior, I am just a girl who loved too much, and all together too well.

It started with him—a fellow scientist, brilliant, with hands that were equally able to calibrate a sequencer, and run down the smooth curve of my spine. We were written in the stars, or so I thought. Our love spiraled barrels into a double helix, linked and untouchable… until it wasn't.

After late nights in the lab, there were whispers of future promises and hurried kisses between datasets. But love is a totally messy thing, much like genomic data. He headed off to London for a fellowship, and in one cruel email, our connection was stripped to a ‘It’s not you, it’s the distance.’ 💻✉️💔

The Data Is Reliable… But Love Is Not

I threw myself into my work. I worked day and night, decoding the human genome, even though I arrived to a broken heart. Then came the second heartbreak—a charming entrepreneur who regularly stated how much he adored my mind, as much as he adored my body. But it turns out, it was more like he adored my connections, instead of my intellect. A fraud, and a liar—who looked at my intellect like a trophy, not a soul.

And now? I am rebuilding. My heart is a source of data with too many outliers, but I am learning to filter the noise. I begin to wear my scars like my Louboutins—with pride, because they collectively are resolve for the woman I am becoming: a Genomic Data Analyst who knows that the hardest code to crack is not what is written in DNA… it is us.

💡 Fun fact: I can accurately identify your ancestry with 99.9% accuracy… but love? Still working on that algorithm.
