Q&A
Most frequent questions and answers
I’m passionate about learning and teaching others, and as a lifelong writer, this is my jam. My family always joked that I would be a permanent student (they had good reason considering I did ten years of post-secondary education!), and I feel that still holds true. I always want to be learning something, and the wonderful thing about science is that our knowledge is always changing and improving. My purpose in life is to use my research skills and knowledge to help others. I wrote a book because writing is who I am. I love taking complex scientific principles and making them easy to digest and understand for the average person.
