About me

Introduction History does not record why my sperm won the first and only race of its life but, damn, it was a doozy. Most of my life is spent around plants. I go looking for interesting ones in the wild, grow them, study them and write about them, on my blog A Tangled Bank. I also have a long-standing interest in the phenomena of belief, both as scientific curiosities and, more recently, in my capacity as the father of two young children who are starting to encounter some dangerous beliefs. You can read about my take on the subject in Alphatuosity.
