Topics & Discovery Editor

Casey Cooper

Casey Cooper is a curious generalist with degrees in both physics and history, a combination that reflects an unwillingness to pick just one interesting thing to study. After years in science communication and educational content development, Casey now focuses on exploring topics that deserve more depth than a Wikipedia summary. Every article is an excuse to learn something new and share it with others who value genuine understanding over quick takes. When not researching the next deep-dive topic, Casey is reading obscure history books, attempting to understand quantum mechanics (still), or explaining something fascinating to anyone who will listen.

Jordan Mitchell

Jordan Mitchell spent a decade as a reference librarian before transitioning to writing, bringing the librarian's obsession with accuracy and thorough research to online content. With a Master's in Library Science and years of experience helping people find reliable answers to their questions, Jordan approaches every topic with curiosity and rigor. The mission is simple: provide clear, accurate, verified information that respects readers' intelligence. When not researching the next explainer or fact-checking viral claims, Jordan is probably organizing something unnecessarily or falling down a Wikipedia rabbit hole.
