About

The scientific process is a road of discovery. It is the process of gaining knowledge about the universe through the observation of measurable evidence. Contrary to what many people  believe, this ‘road’ is not  a straight, smooth motorway: researchers may take different directions of exploration, going down routes that twist, turn, and sometimes even backtrack or come to a dead end, before the facts are uncovered. Even then, the facts uncovered may be only part of a larger, partially understood phenomenon, which requires further research  before we come to  more complete answers.

The bottom line is that dialogues characterised by cycles of revision, conjecture, assertion, and contradiction are frequently key to investigating a subject.  Although such cycles often frustrate non-scientists, it is important to understand that science is evolutionary, not revolutionary.

I have a decades long history of critical care nursing and researching evidence-based medicine. My passion for healthcare began when I was an adolescent, solely out of a desire to help others, and has continued to this day. A huge part of my practice has been education-we don’t realize how little most people know about their bodies and the miracle of our lives! All of this has developed into a love of intelligently interpreting science for the non-scientists in my life!

I commit to taking responsibility for providing health facts accurately, putting them into perspective, and helping YOU to understand how the research findings may affect your health choices!
