...I ultimately used a combination of live charge experiments and advanced physics to conclude that the crew died from blast transmission through the hull of their vessel, but I also analyzed the risks from ocean factors, breathing gas supply, and ballistic trauma to the hull to eliminate all reasonable theories. My other research uses similar approaches based in engineering, statistics, physics, and data collection to examine the unique facets of physiology in extreme environments—as well as the risks—and one common challenge of these varied environments is often the need to maintain normal respiratory and neurological functions while under abnormal conditions. In recent years I have also worked on communicating the technical knowledge of scientific research to more general populations, and as part of that work, I have completed two mainstream non-fiction books about science as it related to key moments in history....
