My Journey

I am Dr. Jayne Morgan and I began this journey as the Covid pandemic swept the world. The need for effective scientific communication was high, while health literacy worldwide was low. People began listening to those whom they followed mostly on social media for information, much of it false, from people with no scientific backgrounds whatsoever. But people believe those with whom they have a 'relationship' and 'trust' dynamic. And so the erosion of scientific voices was almost immediate. Our health agencies seemed unprepared for such an undercurrent of subversive and overt disinformation campaigns.

I stepped into this void to begin to have the conversations that I would have at the bedside of my patients. The conversations with many family members who wanted to understand AND feel comfortable with the information. Science is often opaque, with a seemingly remote and sometimes strange group of people involved, speaking a language of science and latin that others struggle to understand.

My aim is to translate science into everyday language that everyone can understand. Science is very exact but it should not be a mystery. I began the Stairwell Chronicles simply to speak directly to those who are seeking scientific information as they would from a family member, neighbor, friend, favorite teacher, or coach. Easy to be around, easy to understand, easy to digest, and trustworthy.

The concept is simple. 60 seconds of information surrounding one specific question. I sit on the stairs of my house, and translate the science for you. It is my hope that you will stick around, and come to consider me a trusted friend that you can turn to for trusted science information.
