About Me

I'm Dr. Josephine Ontedhu — scientist by training, teacher by calling, writer by passion, and a mother, wife, and culinary explorer by beautiful chaos. With a doctorate in plant biochemistry and a few journal publications under my belt, I’ve spent years decoding the intricacies of life at the cellular level. But outside the lab, I’ve learned that life’s deepest meanings often unfold through a child’s question, a shared meal, or a quiet moment with pen and paper.

​

This blog is my journal — a tapestry of musings, poems, recipes, and teaching resources — stitched together by wonder, curiosity, and a generous pinch of spice. Whether you're a fellow educator, a curious cook, a parent, or just someone navigating life’s messiness with grace and grit, you’re warmly welcome here.

​

Let’s marvel at the science of it all, savor the cooking experiments (yes, even the flops), and honor the poetry in the in-between.
