Credibility, Information, and Sources:

I'm passionate about free flowing accurate public information. I believe information is crucial to hold governments and people accountable. I have little tolerance for distorted information and propaganda in any form. I realize that politics is inherently partisan and like everyone else I hold innate biases and values. That being said, I try to provide information in the most factual and ethical manner. I make every effort to examine the credibility of a source and their claims. However, I'm human; I will make errors. If you notice an error I strongly encourage you to fix it and tell me so I can avoid similar mistakes in the future. Personally I love making mistakes... that's how we learn.

Political Science:

I'm inclined to avoid confining myself to artificial boundaries of reason. Thus, I see no reason to sell my own power of free thought to the goals of an institution. My allegiance—if you can call it that—is to evidence, logic, reason, and values.

Biology:

I began my studies in biology, a topic that intrigued me and I excelled at in high school. My goal was to become a academic physician or researcher. Eventually I came to the conclusion that my heart, unfortunately, wasn't in the science. Biology taught me critical thinking skills and a passion for the scientific method. It also bolstered my veneration for my own existence. That through years of evolution humans are but a mere second in universe.
