This is very true; the cool kids are indeed on Substack. I just wanted a bit more flexibility to set things up how I wanted to and partially out of a sense of nostalgia for the internet that I grew up with, where you designed your own site from scratch rather than making a page on someone else’s site where you are more or less subject to their whims.

Please use the contact form. I can’t give out my email address or I will be spammed into oblivion…

…again.

Pro tip: when you’re publishing an article don’t let them publish your personal email address or you will forever be receiving email from Rachel Zhang at the Journal of Modern Microtechnology. “Greetings of the day Professor!”

That’s up to you to decide. The stuff here is generally referenced but is limited by my ability to understand complex conditions and treatments (my level of interest will depend on the condition or system in question) as well as my ability to respond to changing evidence (we will see). I also reference a lot of American stuff basically because it’s interesting to compare how we do things.

In short, don’t base your treatment on my published study notes; always refer to primary sources and up-to-date relevant guidelines.

I do not use generative AI for any of my work.

Financially, thanks for your interest but at the moment it doesn’t cost me very much at all to host this. I offer this for free and just hope you get something out of reading it as much as I did writing it.

In terms of content, if you have something you’d like to write just get in touch with me. I’m always open to bringing collaborators along.
