Welcome to “Science with Amy“
Your gateway to exploring the marvels of medical science. This blog is more than just a collection of scientific facts; it’s a journey into the heart of what makes us healthy, and sometimes, what makes us ill. Regardless of your background, whether you’re a student, a professional, or simply curious about health and medicine, you’ve found a space that values learning and discovery.
Who am I:
Hey there! I’m Amy, the voice and mind behind this blog. I’m a dedicated medical scientist with a passion for health and wellness. My academic journey has taken me through a Bachelor Degree in Medical Science and culminated in a PhD in Medicine. I enjoy the process of researching complex scientific topics and translating the information into actionable insights.
Why I started this blog:
“Knowledge is power, and knowledge shared is power multiplied.” I started this blog with a couple of simple yet powerful goals
Sharing knowledge
I believe deeply in the power of shared knowledge. This blog is my platform to disseminate accurate, research-backed insights into various health topics. Whether it’s the latest research on disease prevention, insights into chronic conditions, or explorations into new medical treatments, I aim to break them down into digestible and engaging content. By breaking down complex scientific topics into bite-sized pieces, I aim to make complex health topics light and accessible to everyone.
Empowering you in your Proactive Health Management
I strongly believe understanding our health is the first step in taking control of it. The pursuit of longevity and optimal health starts with you. This means not just understanding the ‘what’ and ‘how’ of various physiological conditions but also exploring the ‘why’. From discussing diseases to exploring lifestyle choices, I strive to provide you with the tools and knowledge necessary to make informed decisions about your health and wellness.
My research experience:
With over ten years of experience in scientific medical research, my expertise spans a range of critical health issues, including cancer, Alzheimer’s Disease, obesity, and insulin resistance. This blog will often feature insights and updates from my research, making complex scientific concepts accessible and engaging.
Join the Journey
Through ‘Science with Amy’, I aspire to create a community where learning about health is not just informative but also empowering and engaging. As John C. Maxwell wisely said,
Live to learn and you will really learn to live

Together, let’s explore how we can reach our optimal health and wellness.
