Essays
-
Nothing Grows Alone
The Human Microbiome Project's 2009 chart of bacteria by body part, recounted to show what it actually measured. A field that is not mine yet.
-
Give Me a Screwdriver
Fisher, twelve potato varieties and a bowl of balls: when a probability is enough to decide, and when you open the machine. My own field, hypothesis testing.
-
The Window Stayed Shut
Why people live longer than they stay healthy, and why that question has four true answers at once. My research question.
-

-

Put a Pin on It
The setup behind this site: one file says what is live, so the pages cannot quietly drift from it.
Twenty-Three Cats
Twenty-three cats parachuted into Borneo in 1960 to repair a malaria fix, five definitions of a system, and what systems thinking asks before the next fix: where the cost will show up, and when.
The Thermostat in Your Head
A man who called himself ignorant about his thermostat turned it up high to warm the house faster, like stepping on a gas pedal. Four definitions of a mental model, two copies of one thermostat, and the measured gap that can settle a household argument before the next heating bill.
Zero, One or Two
Sixty seconds after a baby is born, someone gives it a score out of ten. Four definitions of a framework, one doctor's five signs, the death rate that only a rule held still could count, and why twenty job applications sent for twenty reasons cannot say which reason works.
What the Jelly Changed
Its food, not its genes, decides whether a honeybee larva becomes a queen. Twenty thousand human genes, a DNA kit that looks for one key, and a yeast factory that stood idle.
T Always Finds A
Mr. DNA, a mosquito in amber, and frog DNA plugging the holes. Part one of two: the three workers that really read your DNA, and a family phone call that can move a colon screening years earlier.
