Welcome, Fellow Traveller!

My name is Morgan Francis, and you are now at Crest of the Stars! This is my little project that I work on in between camping out under the Mojave night sky and getting lost in Parisian flea markets. With this blog, I aspire for a harmonious weave between the fun of science and the adventure of travel. The greatest scientists of history – Darwin, Galileo, Da Vinci, and others – were all explorers in their own right. People often picture sterile labs and plain white coats when they think of science, which is exactly the perception I hope to change. Science can be fun, it can be a bit dirty, a bit adventurous, and it can take you to so many new corners of the world.

At Crest of the Stars I write, edit, and curate all the precious nuggets of information, hypotheses, and advice I can find – creating content for curious minds that want to take their first step and boldly go where no one has gone before. The quest for knowledge is never-ending, which means I’m going to keep on learning and sharing, so that you can keep on reading.
