I’m excited to be launching a new publication on Substack today: The Science and Experience of Energy! The last few years have invited me, like many of us, to clarify my place in the world. I’m a scientist who’s devoted his career to bridging mitochondrial science and psychobiology. But I want to do more than just publishing papers for other academics—it’s important, but not sufficient. I am moved to bridge science and experience not just in the lab, but in life as well. That’s why I’m writing the ENERGY book. And why starting this Substack makes sense now. It feels like a coming out of sort, from my academic shell: sharing some things that non-scientists may not know about, and sharing experiences that scientists typically don’t talk about. That bridging of science and experience, I feel, will propel us forward towards a deeper truth about who we are and how we can fulfill our potential. I’m excited to share this journey with you. In this publication, you’ll find three types of pieces: 1. The ENERGY SCIENCE pieces will share the latest advances in mitochondrial science. 2. The BEHIND THE PAPER category will describe how a specific study came to be, or the backstory of a discovery. 3. The LIVED EXPERIENCES will allow you to connect with other human beings willing to share their energetic experience of growth and transformation. Everything in this publication will always be free. I’ll put energy in each post. And as the publication grows, we’ll invite others to contribute their energy as well, including my wonderful wife @msahsorin. Please join us by subscribing. And if you feel so compelled, sharing with your community. martinpicard.substack.com/
