I am a micro/molecular biologist with a twenty plus year career in research and development in industry including leadership of large research groups and project teams. Globally recognized expert in rapid food pathogen diagnostics with an extensive publication, presentation, and patent record. Highly sought technical speaker and skilled at communicating complex topics to broad non-technical audiences.
While science has been my career, my mind is creative and inventive with broad interests outside the sciences. These include a vast trove of writings under the pseudonym Everyday Junglist spanning almost every possible genre. Much of these writings are collected in my Substack based digital publication, Intelligent Nonsense, or at my Vocal.com site. I also create art in several conventional and digital media and have my own collection, Microbiology Themed Art Like Objects(TM), along with driftwood furniture and sculpture using materials scavenged from the beach near my home.
