We are also a grassroots and entirely volunteer-staffed organization, so unfortunately we cannot pay authors for their contributions. However, we can provide publication experience and publicity boosts to ECRs, students, and writers. Our mission is to champion and share their important work.

Hello!! I'm *so* happy to see you.

I also love hearing about everyone’s amazing work, as well as connecting about writing (including…and maybe especially? grant writing), research, and collaboration.

So if you think there’s something that we could pursue together, please reach out!

In the past two years, I also took up rowing. I row an 8 with an incredible local crew.

It was the first time in a long while that I tried something completely new. It’s been life changing, tbh, and I love to “row it out.”

I love taking long walks with my little sidekick, Giovanni Giorgio (H/T to Moroder).

Gio is a well-intentioned but incredibly mischievous 1.5 year old. It makes for extra work, but also…so much fun. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I’m also a co-editor on the Recipes Project, a multidisciplinary blog that is currently in its 12th(!) year.

We talk recipes as they relate to medicine and science, food, magic, art, beauty, making, and digital technologies. Reach out if you want to work with us!

You can read more about it in my recent JBS article "Lavender for Lads."

It tracks the transport of lavender sachets to white English soldiers on the western front.
