Founder and instructor Michael Donio is a senior research scientist with over 20 years of experience. He started Science Defined as a response to losing his father to pancreatic cancer as well as the COVID pandemic. Whether confronted with a serious diagnosis or navigating a pandemic, it is easy to become frustrated with understanding complex scientific jargon. So, he decided to start Science Defined to break down the barrier that is the language of science and make scientific knowledge accessible to everyone.
