This paper examines the construction of scientific identity in Hope Jahren's Lab Girl (2016) through Life Writing Studies and Paul Ricoeur's theory of narrative identity. While previous research has focused on gender, environmental writing, and science communication, limited attention has been paid to how scientific identity is formed in the memoir. Using qualitative narrative analysis, the study explores how memories of childhood curiosity, laboratory experiences, scientific failures, friendships, and professional growth are woven into a narrative of becoming. Findings reveal that scientific identity develops gradually through autobiographical storytelling rather than existing as a fixed trait. The memoir demonstrates that identity is shaped by personal experiences, relationships, and reflection. By emphasising the role of narrative in presenting the lived experience of science, this study contributes to scientific memoir scholarship and extends Ricoeur's narrative identity theory to contemporary life writing and autobiographical studies.

Trump’s discourse stands out for his use of divisive language and combative style of communication, and his preference for Twitter (now X). He is more often than not under discussion for being a racist and a white supremacist. Drawing on the concept of White Rage given by Anderson and the analytical tools of linguistic categories by Hillary Janks (2005), the study examines the key linguistic characteristics in Trump’s tweets and what White Rage is for him. The study is qualitative in nature and the data set consists of Donald Trump’s tweets during his first presidency. The analysis reveals that Trump’s White Rage is more than Anderson’s conceptualization of the phenomenon that extends beyond race, and is closely tied to power preservation and political expediency.
