About Me

Hello and welcome to my corner of the internet, where we like to think for ourselves and advocate for science.

I am an academically-trained cancer biologist with a PhD in…well, cancer biology. I worked at the lab bench for over 10 years, before I transitioned into my current role in the scientific communications field. I’m a Scientific Content Specialist at Addgene, a company that shares many of my own values of sharing science and promoting open science. I am super grateful to be working there, and even more grateful that I can now work from home with my three cats.

I started this blog while I was in grad school, and only recently decided it was time to pick it back up again and give it a little bit of a facelift. Now more than ever we need strong voices in science, both to combat the anti-science narrative that has taken root and push against the overwhelming wave of AI. While my impact might be small, doing something is better than nothing.

My goal is to help people develop the skills and tools needed to critically think about the information being thrown at use. I want to promote science with empathy, passion, and accuracy. Everyone deserves to understand science so that they can apply it to decisions that impact their health, family, and the world around them. Let’s get learning!

**This blog is always anti-AI, anti-ICE, anti-fascist, and anti-racist.**
