Writing As Angry But Practical Science Communication
Nick turned anger about poor practice into practical writing aimed at patients and young clinicians.
He critiques research from a clinician’s trench view, creates meme-filled resources he reuses in appointments.

He rejects vague ‘nanoenergy’ claims and prefers macrophage-driven inflammatory repair as the mechanism.
