Fundamentals

I run into a lot of people who say they’re “not smart” or seem to think that astronomy — and science in general — is beyond them. But I believe that anyone can learn anything. There’s just a few things that make it easier…

Being interested in — or even passionate about — a topic
Believing that you can do it
Finding learning and study methods that work for you
Having a good teacher!

And that “teacher” bit is where I come in 😉

My dream is that, through this blog, I can be that good teacher that inspires others and makes learning fun, no matter where you are in your education.

On this page, I’ve gathered posts throughout my blog that are written with the beginner in mind. At the top, I’ve also included some topics to help familiarize you on what science is and isn’t.

I welcome feedback on this page! I always worry that I’ve forgotten what’s actually fundamental and what’s more advanced. If you think anything here doesn’t belong, please let me know so I can recategorize it.
