What is this space?

The Science of Being is a home for essays that live between science and soul.

It’s where I write about the body, the mind, memory, love, trauma, the multiverse, and what it means to survive with feeling. It’s a space for complexity and contradiction. It’s not about self-help or certainty. It’s about staying with the questions.

What do I write about?

I write to make sense of things that don’t always make sense.

• Neuroscience and psychology

• Trauma, healing, and identity

• Philosophy, spirituality, and absurdism

• Quantum physics and perception

• Love, memory, and the nervous system

• Literature, film, and the stories that hold us

Sometimes I explore a scientific concept through metaphor. Sometimes I take a scene from a film and unpack it emotionally and biologically. Sometimes I write about personal experience.

I’m interested in what holds us together, and what breaks us open.

Who is this for?

This space might be for you if:

You’ve read The Body Keeps the Score and cried

You’re fascinated by how the mind works, but not satisfied with surface-level answers

You want language for what it means to remember, to feel, to come undone

What can you expect?

• 3+ free to read essays a month

• Occasional special pieces on books, films, and the metaphysics of meaning

Some essays are emotional. Some are more analytical. Most are both.

If you’re the kind of person who underlines sentences in books, overthinks text messages, or cries at strange moments during sci-fi movies, you’ll probably feel at home here.
