I’m starting this blog to give myself an outlet for my
rabbit-holing. I like learning new things, and I hope to eventually find work
as a researcher, science or academic communicator, or editor of journal articles or (any
kind of) books.
My goal is to write two posts a week exploring the recent
scholarly literature. One post will be on something from the natural sciences, with
a center of gravity around ecology, organismal biology, evolution, adaptation,
and animal cognition. The second will be on something from human-focused
inquiry, with a center of gravity around neuroscience, psychology,
neurodiversity, spirituality, and language. These are my two big special
interests, and they’re areas I feel excited about exploring with a potential
audience.
Each post will be 500 words, split into two sections. The
first section will be a 250-word summary of the article: What They Did. I’ll
use the citation of the article as the title of the post, so you can access the
article yourself if you want more detail. The second section will be Further
Exploration: 250 words following whatever curiosity the paper inspires. My
purpose here isn’t necessarily to find the most important or obvious question the
paper could bring up, though it’s fine if that happens. The main thing I want is
space for my creative brain to make and share connections. That “creative
concept connection” is another skill I really want to use. I’m hoping this blog
allows me to demonstrate it.
If you like the way my mind works, I’d be happy to connect
socially or professionally!
