Complex issues, like ones surrounding scientific innovations need to be analyzed by individuals with diverse backgrounds and addressed on a platform which promotes understanding. The Odyssey Online is a good place to begin to educate our community on issues of public health, global health, and answer questions about the ethics of new technologies. The conversation starts by building common ground based in scientific accuracy, bound by history, that can lead us to develop a new and more intricate "story of us." I want to be a part of writing that story in our community by bringing my scientific knowledge, my skill in poetry, and my love of humanity to the forefront of this unique writing platform.
