Bradley van Paridon

Brad was a scientist. He did a Ph.D studying mind controlling parasitic worms. Now he writes for magazines, produces podcasts and teaches scientists how to better communicate their work. His philosophy is that the science community can lighten up and speak like the normal people they are. Everyone can and should understand the knowledge scientists create because it is society's job to decide what to do with that information.
