About Sheryl Wood
I love to write about all things science — when I'm not flower gardening. A proud UConn grad, with a BS in Medical Technology, I worked in the research field for over 30 years on projects ranging from alcohol and drug interaction to the immunological aspects of rheumatoid diseases.
