WRITING

I’m passionate about communicating complicated ideas clearly and writing about science in a way that’s relevant to my audience’s lives. My goal is to instill a sense of wonder in the reader as they better understand natural phenomena, and to help them appreciate how the scientific process generated that understanding.
