- I’m a scientist at Duke University, and run a lab focused on metabolism and metabolic regulation. Starting in chemistry, we work on a lot of diseases including diabetes and cancer.
- Lately I’ve been interested in how people come up with good ideas, scientific and otherwise. I’ve started a writing project called Heureka!, which explores ideas around creativity and idea generation. I don’t know where the project will go, but am enjoying reading, thinking, and writing.
- I also started a new course this fall called Tidybiology: An Introduction to Biological Data Science in R. I’m becoming more certain that tools in Data Science can help graduate students and the biomedical science enterprise.
- I’m still running, and do garage gym workouts with a fit neighbor to fight aging.
- I recently completed a few obstacle course races, including the National and World Championships.
