I am a Ph.D. Chemist and science fiction writer, living the dream in Lorena, TX, running my own consulting firm, Brickhouse Consultancy, LLC, www.brickhouseconsultancy.com, and supporting contact tracing and research efforts at Baylor University.  “The Gray Horizon” was my first professional short story sale, and is still on-line at https://aurorawolf.com/2020/05/the-gray-horizon/.
