I joined Springer Nature in 2018 as an Associate Editor for Communications Biology, an open-access journal in the Nature Research family. Before becoming an editor, I was a Research Investigator at the University of Michigan. I’m a circadian biologist and biochemist, who became intrigued by the low protein diet for its impact on boosting innate immunity and longevity. Also interested in sharing what I have learned about healthy lifestyles that require knowledge on diets, investment, and science (https://www.mindfulbeginner.com).
