    Philosophy

    Most scientists are driven by curiosity, wonder, and a passion to make the world a better place. I translate their excitement about their work from the realm of science to the public eye through storytelling. I believe that getting non-experts intruiged by science doesn’t always have to rely on the practical implications of new findings, but also the twists and turns of scientific discovery and the personalities of researchers themselves.
