I am fundamentally interested in ontology, relationships, and epistemology. I map ontological placement of entities as a foundational mapping of wealth, power, influence etc.

Social justice / advocacy, human rights, environmental health
2024-01-03
My academic background (Ph.D.) is in the biomedical life sciences (molecular biology/genetics), with which I remain current. [1]
My more recent experience is programmatic (programming; data sciences; informatics). [1, 2]
I advocate for universal social justice and equality, environmental protection, and universal human rights. To that end, I created Persagen.com [3] as a self-taught, solo programmer. [4]
That research provides expertise on the history and root causes of contemporary culture wars, conservative politics, and erosions of democracy and civil liberties. [4, 5]
For additional background, please see my cover letter [4] and curriculum vitae [1].
