Welcome!

I'm a biomathematician in the Lexington, KY area with a wide array of professional and recreational interests. This site is a way for me to share some of those interests, as well as some tools and small tutorials I've developed over time, and provide links to resources.

You might be asking what the site and handle - jtsDMPK - is. It might look like a nonsense string like xkcd, but it's not! The first three letters are actually my initials, and the remainder is one of the many acronyms used in the biopharm world. DMPK is short for "drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics" - essentially, a discipline for studying how drugs interact with metabolic processes and what happens with their concentration over time after taking them. It has not escaped my attention that, lacking vowels, slamming it together with my initials creates something that looks like a nonsense string, so I've taken to using it as a moniker for a while now.
