I’m a research scientist. As you can see from my Google Scholar page, my postdoctoral work contributed to the development of HPV vaccines. I'm currently working on vaccines against a different family of cancer-causing viruses called polyomaviruses. When the pandemic forced me to work from home, I temporarily shifted into bioinformatic discovery of new virus families using online sequence databases. I’m also interested in food, evolution, and economics.
Writing isn't my day job, and I have no interest in being an influencer. I write these essays to organize my own thinking, to attract constructive criticism from friends, family, and strangers, and in pursuit of the basic human happiness of sharing ideas.
