I want to demystify evidence: To translate complex jargon into
plain-language explanations.

I'm the founder of tech startup Ugly Research. We've created PepperSlice: It condenses big, ugly information into small, tasty bites. You can use PepperSlice to explain evidence clearly and concisely (sign up here for a free account).

In past lives, I've worked in science and tech publishing (Reed-Elsevier), enterprise software (webMethods), consumer content (STATS), oil and gas (Apache, Western Gas Resources).
