exploration and social responsibility
This evening, I had one of those moments when it all hit me. I took my 2 1/2 year old daughter outside for one last spin before bedtime in hopes of helping to wind her down. As these nights tend to go, the fresh air ends up more of a pick me up than anything,…
Read Morea perspective on privatized science
After stumbling on a recent and timely New York Times article about the privatization of science, I thought it would make for a compelling Blog post to discuss the matter from ‘the bottom up’.

With one foot out the door on a next expedition – this one highly scientifically driven as we search for novel fluorescent proteins on deep coral reefs – my wheels are spinning on over drive to consider the next move. As with any business, you gotta be thinking at least three steps ahead so as…
Read MoreReconnect by disconnecting
Recent news headlines brought us a story of a young man who relinquished his digital ties for 90 days. Yes, this is such an outrageous concept that it made national news. What does this say about our species? I see it as losing touch with our role here on Earth…and a step in human devolution,…

Read Morecheap ideas and the soloist’s dilemma
Five thousand four hundred and thirty is the number of files I came to discover today while backing up my computer. This is not the mish mash from days past – old projects, images, archived information – these are the current workings in my personal day to day system. My intent today was to do a…
Read Morea real Atlantean discovery | some free thinking
Sometimes you have to let your mind slip outside of the box as a mental health exercise. With that, some outside-the-box thinking might even come your way.
