I’m David DeBonis: writer, educator, entrepreneur, and science communicator. 

I created Seeking Synthesis to explore questions that follow me between my work and the rest of my life. Questions like:

• How do our brilliant bodies and minds work? 
• What shapes our thinking? 
• Why do certain experiences leave us feeling more alive? 
• What does it mean to be human in this universe?

Here, you’ll find stories, articles, essays, and other creations about health, language, culture, technology, and science alongside stories of adventure, connection, and purpose. Research informs our writing, as does experience. And so does the nuanced moments when the two don’t neatly agree.
