So Many Questions. So Little Time.
How are we going to eliminate life threatening diseases? Will we be able to feed all the people on our planet? Is climate change going to lead us on the path to extinction? It’s enough to inspire the faint of heart to reach for the nearest vial of antidepressants. Before you do so, behold the silver lining. Many once deemed it impossible to travel to the moon, and more recently, impossible to complete the human genome.
But science made it happen.
I have faith that science is about to work its magic, yet again. My faith is based on facts, not bullsh*t. I’m going to share my stories of scientific discovery and undeniable possibilities, right here on my website. And you don’t have to be a scientist to understand it all. Yes, we will be saved by science.
