About the Reliable Researcher

Hi, I’m Steven Christian—The Reliable Researcher.

I blend neuroscience, medicine, and technology to explore the intersection of art, science, and culture. This project exists because I believe research should be more than a buzzword you throw out in an argument—it should be something we all can actually do.

Right now, when people say “I did my research,” it usually means they read three blogs, scrolled a TikTok thread, or repeated something their uncle said on Facebook. But real research? It’s slow. It’s hard. And unless you’ve got access to academic institutions, journal paywalls, and a stubborn streak for reading dense PDFs at 2 a.m., you’re probably not seeing the full picture.

That’s where I come in.

I want to make empirical research accessible, entertaining, and empowering. My mission is simple:
👉 Break down real science.
👉 Call out pseudoscience.
👉 Bring receipts to the “do your research” movement.
