My personal belief is that scientific explanations have lost its sense of wonder by being too correct, too academic, too proper.  Humans have always sought to understand the world, far before technology could provide any rigorous testing of proposed theories. So we called those explanations myths. And myths had tremendous powers in lingering in our minds.

And myths can be of various flavors too. Some myths are epic and grand, others are silly and frivolous. Still others are enigmatic and “just is”.

I wonder if scientific stories were told like myths, a whole new realm of possibilities would become available to us in our approach and audience. I believe humans are inherently curious about the world and about their own body and experience. With Storify Biology, I explore ways to intentionally instill wonder, whimsy, and joy into the presentation of biological and chemical knowledge, so if you have an avenue you’d like to explore as a collaboration with me, please reach out!
