Welcome to All Science Great & Small!
Your source for independent science & veterinary content
Hey there! 👋 I'm Dr. Eric Fish, a veterinary pathologist, scientist, and educator with experience ranging from academia to diagnostic laboratories to start-ups. You can read my published research here. My interests span veterinary medicine, molecular biology, and technology (especially AI), along with a passion for travel and learning about the world. Here is my conflict of interest disclosure page.
I named this Substack “All Science Great & Small” as an homage to the famous veterinary book All Creatures Great and Small and its sequels by Dr. James Herriot. Those books warmed hearts and inspired generations of people to become veterinarians, including myself. My goal with science writing is to focus on animals of all kinds and to make it accessible to everyone, similar to Dr. Herriot. You can think of this publication as a mix of an email newsletter, a thought-provoking blog, and engaging interactive discussions. Plus, there's a sprinkle of podcast audio and quick, insightful posts for those on the run.

This last point is critical because independence in science and medical reporting is more important than ever. All Science Great & Small is a carefully curated space that I’ve built for my readers—you’ll notice it is completely free of pop-ups, digital ads, affiliate links, and the rest of the distracting and annoying BS of the modern internet. Because I don’t have to worry about advertisers or other sponsorship, I can write whatever I want without having to consider the interests of any company or organization. Furthermore, producing these newsletters takes a lot of time, and paid subscribers allow me the time for research and writing.
