Biology

I got my B.S. in Biology from Northeastern University.

It is the foundation I still lean on. Health and medical device research asks you to read the clinical literature without flinching, understand what a mechanism actually does, and talk to clinicians in their own terms. All of that came from here.

It also gave me the method before I had the domain. Controls, sample sizes, the discipline of not believing a result you like too quickly. Human factors research runs on the same machinery, just pointed at people instead of cells.

The co-op cycle at Northeastern is what routed me through Sanofi, and then into hospitals, and eventually into design.
