At Zeroth Order
A "zeroth order" approximation is the starting point for describing something complicated before unravelling its twists and turns.
That's what I aim for: take the complex and the unknown and find a tractable point to start working out the details.
This website is where I bring together my personal and professional writing in popular science and adjacent nerdy topics, published academic research in urban environmental health and pet projects.
I'm currently working on my book proposal on urban environemtal health which you can find out more about here.
