Bringing you the science that applies to your life.
Most science blogs exist to bring you the newest, the flashiest, the most exciting stories in science.
I’m here to bring you up to speed on the basics, so you can really understand the things that happen in your world.
Hi, I’m Anne.
Chemist by training, teacher by trade.
I got my very first tutoring job when I was 12 years old, and never really stopped. In high school, my friends would ask me to explain math lessons that they didn’t understand in class, because “It makes more sense when YOU say it, Anne!”
I have always enjoyed the challenge of breaking down complex topics and laying them out in a clear, easy-to-understand way. And now I want to use that skill, not just to help one student or one class at a time, but as a free resource for anyone who is curious about the natural world.
My credentials:
I hold a Master’s degree in inorganic chemistry, with research experience in university and national lab settings.
I have been a teacher and tutor for over 10 years, working with middle and high school students, Ivy-league undergraduates, and community college career-changers.
I love digging into new topics and sharing what I learn!
Why should you study science?
I found an excellent op-ed by an author/theoretical physicist who answers that very question. Click the button below for the full version.
Here’s the Cliff Notes version:
Being science-savvy makes you better informed on the issues that you face as a consumer and citizen every day. Having a basic understanding of current technologies and global challenges means you can join the conversation about our future as a society. But that’s not all!
Learning about science also gives you a deeper appreciation for the world you inhabit, enhancing your connection with nature. And it gives you a framework for making observations and solving problems that can be very empowering.
