I'm Carry Lewis.

Start with mechanisms. Keep the person in view.

Medicine and neuroscience connect different scales of observation: cells and molecules, electrical activity and networks, and real people. I want to understand not only a conclusion, but why it holds and what it cannot yet explain.

Research notes collect some of my questions about computational medicine, biological mechanisms and clinical reasoning.

Build to test understanding.

I like turning questions into tools people can use. The ECG simulator, report-review assistance and knowledge systems connect understanding with practice. A complete design is not proof of usefulness; I also want to record tradeoffs, limits and revisions.

Visit the project collection for individual projects, or the Design lab to see how I explore the expression of information.

Meet limits over long distances.

Distance running is one of my interests. Physical capacity, pacing and sustained effort make patience and will tangible. I want practice, reading and reflection to inform one another, so lived experience can test an idea.

Take faith seriously. Take questions seriously too.

I am interested in Christianity, as well as Buddhism, Islam and other traditions of thought. Reading and reflecting on them makes me ask what is worth believing, how claims respond to criticism, and how belief relates to life.

A few sentences cannot express a complete position. I hope to develop my understanding through specific questions, distinguishing judgments I have formed from matters I am still exploring.

This observatory will keep changing.

There is room here for both work and unfinished questions. I want to record how I come to understand the world, and meet people who enjoy serious discussion and making things together.
