Welcome to Rudus Writings.

We have to start somewhere... This is the blog of a boring guy who happens to do interesting things. I have reached a point where I would like to have a public-facing location where I can share information, thoughts, and the like about some of the things that I do--and this is that place.

Who am I and what do I do?

In my day job, I am a research scientist. I provide bioinformatic support to a Children's Hospital research institute in Manitoba, Canada. Bioinformatics is an interesting field at the junction of statistics, molecular biology, and computation. I have lots of opinions about science-related issues, and I'll likely be posting some of them here.

Modern scientists usually have public-facing lists of our research, and I am no different. Here are the two that I use the most.

Google Scholar

ORCID

I suspect I will eventually do a post on ORCIDs, but you should know that those are not the numbers Sauron assigns to the members of his army.

But the real reason I've started this blog is because in my spare time I write and publish both table-top roleplaying games and fiction. And a lot of my blog posts are going to be about these two topics--particularly about the science behind what I am writing. For now, I will end this short introduction with a link to my TTRPG, Rubble and Ruin, which is available on DriveThruRPG.
