Exploring the intersection of science, philosophy, religion, and creative thinking.
Where graduate-level biology meets spiritual insight and innovative brainstorming.
With a graduate degree in Biology, I enjoy exploring the deeper questions that emerge when scientific understanding meets philosophical inquiry and spiritual insight. This collection represents years of speculation, research, and thoughtful consideration of how we understand our world through multiple lenses - scientific, philosophical, and spiritual.

Read Full Paper Genetics SexThis paper proposes that evolution works faster when populations at the edges of species ranges hybridize with neighboring species, creating vigorous hybrid offspring that can become new species, especially during geological transitions when different habitats get compressed together. The authors also suggest that horizontal gene transfer (genetic material moving between unrelated organisms through viruses, bacteria, or environmental sources) plays a bigger role in creating new species than previously thought, and they explore novel ideas about how human language gender systems might reflect biological patterns and how some animals achieve extreme camouflage through acquiring genes from their environment.
