Updated my “About Page”

In the last few months, the views here at ODB have shifted away from the google searches on note taking or photo gear to hits on the main page and the “About” page. I’m hoping that’s a result of the last 6 months of more consistent posting on neuroscience here with reposting on substack. So it seemed about time I updated the “About” page to better reflect the more focused mission here.

I’ve finished the first two sections of the manuscript and it’s greatly improved. With just the last three chapters to rewrite, the finish line in in sight. Trying to post weekly and revise the manuscript has been steady work. I think its been worth it.

I'm an MD, PhD Neurologist who left a successful academic career on the Faculty of The Johns Hopkins Medical School to develop new treatments in Biotech and Pharma. I became fascinated with how people actually make decisions based on the science of decision theory and emerging understanding of how the brain works to make decisions. My passion now is this deep explanation of what has been the realm of philosophy, psychology and self help but is now understood as brain function. By understanding our brains, I believe we can become happier, more successful people.
