My Research

Light research I do in the history of alchemy and the beginnings of chemistry. Here is my timeline of alchemy, with extensive notes from my blog.

A note: I am not an academic scholar, and haven't been since I got my PhD. Academic scholarship seemed a burdensome way to take the fun out of curiosity, with grant writing, formalized research agreements, drafts, submissions, changes, just to say what I learned and concluded. And I don't trust the consequence of that process. Being curious and following my nose has been great fun for me.
