I have always had a keen interest in writing and find that the focus of writing about topics provides the necessary concentration to take in the information thus discovered. My career path has been in the application of Physics in Medicine which has transformed medical care as we know it. Scientific writing is very demanding and remains for me - and many fellow scientists - as the ultimate challenge of individual achievement. I have interests also in Holistic subjects and I keep a very open mind on some of the great questions of existence. I think writing is a form of 'earthing' of creative thought and that the expression of such thought in writing is a wholly worthwhile pursuit. This also highights the responsibility of communicating 'correct' thinking to the growing global community as made available through the Internet.
