For the last few years, I have been using Substack to publish a newsletter. But now, I am bringing that writing back to live in my own space.
It started off as a way to make me read the endless books and journal articles piling up in my “to be read” pile, but now, I have realised that it’s far more fun for myself (and my readers) to just, tell stories.
I still write and link to scientific papers or books, but it’s more authentic, emergent. I mostly ponder what I’m noticing, weave stories through theories and frameworks, and wander through science in a conversational tone so in a way, it feels like we’re walking side by side, just chatting away.
