Now that I’ve created this website, I’ve decided to use it to start writing more on my interests in a non-academic way. By playing with ideas publicly in this blog roll, I will be forcing myself to think more deeply about a range of subjects and to do more research to fully backup my ideas. I thought it couldn’t hurt too much to try this out.
Here’s a list of things I will write about in this space:
- Health and aging
- Beer and brewing
- Biostatistics, data analytics, and the quantification of health
- Brain health
- Current issues for public health (e.g., COVID-19)
- Gerontology and reviews of research papers on aging at various levels (cell to society)
- Whatever else that I feel like delving into at the time
Why should you read this blog?
You should read this blog if you are interested in the topics listed above and want an interdisciplinary and informed opinion on them. I am blogging publicly to share my thoughts and hopefully generate interactions with people that I can learn from. Please don’t hesitate to send me responses, retorts, and reactions to my work.
If I blog successfully throughout the next year, I hope to have written intelligently across a wide range of subjects and interacted with new interesting people who are also engaged in both similar and dissimilar ideas that I am working through.
