One question

How can we restore pre-modern humanity in a post-modern world, without decelerating technologically?

That question runs through my work and thinking. How can fragile human capacities, taken far out of their elements, become hyper-resilient to the very forces that broke them? This entails exploring while zoomed out (e.g. American manufacturing) and zoomed in (epigenetics). To the end of building resilience, I enjoy thinking about, and experimenting with, aesthetics, which I see as inseparable from our ethics (how we choose to live).

I grew up interpreting for my Deaf parents from English to American Sign Language, studied the Great Books at St. John's College, and published my first peer-reviewed biology paper in Biological Reviews.
