Lect. GÜRKAN TURHAN

Biography

An ordinary person trying to understand life and various organisms (and humans) through the members and the products of seemingly contrasting cultures and myths.

During the journey mentioned above, also trying to survive, what others call, "human relations", or, as I call it, "lack of empathy" or "reluctance to admit others exist in the same universe whose center happens to be not you".

So, I read, I write, I analyze, and I learn whenever I am not at work or asleep.

P.S.: Goals are for (over) achievers, I'd rather have chocolate.
