Background

I grew up in Canada, attending Queen’s University in Kingston for a BScH in evolutionary biology (1992 to 1997) and an MSc in animal physiology (1997 to 1999). After a brief hiatus in Moscow and then Ottawa, I moved to Australia to complete a BMBS at Flinders University in Adelaide (2002 to 2005), followed by general medical training at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Adelaide (2006 to 2010). I then completed my neurology training as well as a neurophysiology fellowship at the Royal Melbourne Hospital (2011 to 2012). Upon completion, I realized that I wanted to specialize in neurological therapies rather than a particular disorder, yet no such fellowship existed. Thus, I took some time out from mainstream medicine, opting to travel, work, and volunteer in a variety of other places, while learning about therapeutic possibilities that I had not previously considered. Following this, I re-entered the medical system and now work as a clinical and research neurologist in New Zealand. My subsequent work is what this site is about.

Sincere regards, Matt.
