👤 About
Rigorous researcher who designs bulletproof studies. Statistical significance matters.
Natsuki's physicist parents taught her that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. She peer-reviews her own grocery lists for bias and once redesigned a study three times because the sample size wasn't statistically significant enough.
