As I explain further in The Scientific Disconnect, though our scientific advances thus far have been astonishing, we seem to be missing a feeling of connection from the common citizens (us) to science and academia. We also appear to be missing the connections between different fields of science and academia. This website is my journey to provoke thoughts about the questions currently unanswered by science, and to learn how making connections could lead to change and discovery about the world and society we live in.
Below is an ongoing and ever-changing list of subjects to explore.
Each subject is presented along with questions that have not been fully explored or answered by the experts. Additional links and information related to these subjects and their questions will be added as my journey continues. My hope is that this list can be used as a place for you to start thinking about these questions, forming connections, and finding topics to learn more about.
