I love being a scientist, but I’m also a perpetually-distracted creative person – a blend that can be difficult to manage. Scientific articles are clear, logical, and information-dense, but creatively barren. It destroys a little bit of my soul each time I skip a possible metaphor, or choose simple over complex vocabulary. This blog is where my creative side lurks. I write about my struggle with distraction, politics, art, society, popular science, and many other things.
