Why blog about science?
"It was a dark and stormy night..." I have always credited A Wrinkle in Time author Madeleine L'Engle for my ability to see science and literature combined into a single entity.

It was not something that my 9-year old self could do alone, nor something that my young mind could fathom (tesseracts? space-time-continuums? centaurs? [my personal favorite]). Exploring L'Engle's world opened myself to the idea of not only writing about science, whether fiction or non-fiction, but making it enjoyable and understandable to laymen and young people.
Science can be accessible to everybody—not just the scientific community—and my aim is to make it so. The purpose of my blog is to introduce recent discoveries in neuroscience and other biomedical fields to science lovers and non-lovers, the literate to the laymen.
