About Me

Thanks for stopping by! This blog is dedicated to spreading science to the masses. I take exciting new research findings and interpret them in a way that's accessible to everyone. As often as possible I will try to use research findings that are published in open access journals. On occasion, I throw in some policy context, just so my policy skills don't get rusty. So peruse, learn something new, and enjoy!
