Biography

I am an autistic, scientist playwright My interests are in exploring the commonly quoted idea by scientists: “If I can do something, then I have the right to do it without interference.” I am retired after a career of ulnar biology research, television correspondent, and college professor. I was diagnosed with autism 2 years ago and hope to explore autism theatrically.
