science writing
One of my passions is writing about science. Why? Because I firmly believe that science is for everyone. Science is fun, exciting, and interesting; it sometimes just needs to be framed in a particular way for it to be understood. I do not believe in dumbing down research stories. I believe in writing about science using common building blocks (normal words). My motto is "simple words, complex concepts."
