  • #3 A Trial Run

    I’m experimenting with how best to communicate this kind of information. Part of that experiment is learning to be transparent about my process. Transparency, to me, is what makes information trustworthy — something we, as a society, have been struggling with in the age of the internet.

    It also invites collaboration. The willingness to reveal methods, uncertainties, and even missteps is often what points us in the right direction — both scientifically and interpersonally. Transparency feels honest and authentic.

    This post is a small attempt to practice those principles.

    Consider it a trial run, and let me know what you think!
