Occasionally, I note my reflections on science, technology, academic systems, and the spaces where all three converge. The writing here is grounded in my work as a researcher and mentor, but it’s not peer-reviewed, institutionally endorsed, or necessarily tied to any specific project. It’s personal, and intentionally so.

These pieces are a way to think aloud. Sometimes critically. Sometimes historically. Sometimes just to trace the outlines of a thought that doesn’t yet have a home in a journal article. I write about what I see: the stagnation in injury research, the awkward embrace of AI in higher education, the rituals of pretend research, and the dissonance of being an immigrant scholar trained in elite spaces but working in public ones.

All views expressed here are my own. This writing is not meant to instruct so much as to provoke, and to offer a space for reflection, both mine and possibly yours.
