I'm an early morning writer who is a research scientist by day, and teaches college classes some evenings.

I have a strong interest in the direction of education, especially experiments like Coursera, edX, and the Khan academy. The business side of education is changing, and I'm excited to see where it goes.

I've also always enjoyed learning, collecting, and reading about insects. Yep, I was that geeky kid growing up (and still am pretty geeky).

Kevin and 407 other people liked Emily May's review of Steelheart (Reckoners, #1): "Well... that was disappointing. I've heard such great things about all of Brandon Sanderson's books and he's an author I've been meaning to read for what seems like forever. So I decided to pick up his recent young adult work instead of committing to " Read more of this review »

Fantastic book! Everyone who considers government action related to poverty when voting should listen to this book. The anecdote at the end describing how MAGA protesters joined with minimum wage protesters captured so much in a few sentences.
