Welcome

Welcome to my corner of the internet! I’m Dr. Dorothy MacDonald — but my students just call me Dr. Dot.

With a Ph.D. in Immunology, 17 years of teaching experience, and a deep love for science, I’m here to help young learners crack the code of Biology, Chemistry, and all things sciencey in a way that’s actually fun.
