In this space I’ll talk about interesting advances in science and technology, often with a Seattle-centric slant. It’ll reflect my own personal strengths (and weaknesses), and my reporting for KPLU, but I’ll aim to make it far-ranging and useful to someone who isn’t necessarily tech savvy or scientifically inclined. Topics I’m especially interested in include: the evolution of life on Earth; brain science and the mind; personal technology that makes life easier; vaccines and global health; microbes; earthquakes and volcanoes; animal behavior.
