One of the benefits of maintaining a personal website is that it allows me share my science and engineering with the world. Communication in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) is so critical as it’s how us researchers and academics share the knowledge we’ve gained. My goal with launching a blog within this site, is that it will give me a way to continue working on my communication skills in small chunks, on a regular basis. In my experience, this is the best way to improve one’s writing.
