Essays
-
Nothing Grows Alone
A field that is not mine yet, read closely: I recount a well-known 2009 microbiome chart to show what it measured.
-
The Window Stayed Shut
My research question, why people live longer than they stay healthy, and why it has four true answers at once.
-
Every Candle Still Burns
A published study rebuilt from public data, with the code in a public repo. Most of it held.
-
The Plaque Was Gone
An Alzheimer's drug approved for clearing plaque, and the FDA's own statistical review read section by section to see what the trial showed.
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.
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.
Capped, Not Deleted
A bottle labeled DRINK ME shrinks Alice to ten inches, and a cake stretches her past her own feet, yet at every size she is still Alice.

Nothing Grows Alone
Breast milk delivers millions of bacteria a day to a baby, and in 1899 a doctor in Paris saw that it also picks which ones win the gut. Part one of three: milk carries sugars only those bacteria can eat, a recount of a 2009 chart shows what a well-known map of the microbiome measured, a four-day course of antibiotics can leave some of them missing for months, and a 2024 review of the microbiome asks what a body is once its microbes count.
