Who am I?

Ben Butterworth

Hi there, I’m Ben! This is my blog and I’ll do what I like with it, thank you very much.

At its best, science and philosophy captures your imagination and makes you think differently about the world. At my best, I make you think other authors aren’t so bad after all. On here you can expect me to post short stories, my opinions and, if you’re lucky, something I actually researched.

I currently work as an editorial assistant for a medical research journal after pulling off a particularly effective ruse. DM me for more tips on how to infiltrate academia.

This site is called the ButterBlog because, in the spirit of reclaiming slurs, I have chosen to embrace the usage of my surname as a source of ridicule from my friends. Go ahead, call me butter boy again. I’m ready.
