A matter of mutual respect

Inspired by those (rarely from the scientific community) who have been pestering me for years about who I am, what I believe and what I do…

This is what my faculty strives for, and I’m pleased to be part of this community that stands for inclusion.

Harassing, badgering and bigoting

They keep asking me:

How come you claim to science yet believe in God?

Unapologetic and unready to behave as though I need their approval,

I keep telling them:

My God doesn’t mind…

Neither does my peer-reviewed science.
