NATURALISM

A freelance writer, artist and photographer for over 35 years, Carol brings a strong sense of wonder and curiosity to her passion for biological and physical sciences, the arts and philosophy. She embraces the concepts of Freethought, Humanism, Naturalism, and the separation of church and state and is dazzled by the wonders of the natural world. By deciphering complicated achievements in today's scientific arenas and explaining them in plain terms, she's able to share the seduction of understanding complex ideas with non-scientists. A concerned humanitarian, Carol's ambition is to encourage tolerance and compassion and wisdom through education and knowledge. Contact Carol via her art website at http://www.carolroper.com.

A poor sop truly uneducated in the ways of compassion and empathy, dreadfully out of touch, a bit of a bookworm with teeth (read introverted a**hole). Nevertheless, I enjoy receiving hugs, though not so much giving them and I am a lone scholar in the school of thinking morning breath is truly a colorful delight in this oft grey portrait.
