Welcome
Harness the synergy of passion and science to achieve groundbreaking discoveries that redefine what’s possible and transform the future.
Welcome! I train people in the art of discovery to equip them to transform the future.
Every seeker and pioneer wants the same thing: to discover something new. To feel that buzz of excitement when you’ve captured something that has never been seen before. And to use those discoveries to forge lasting impact.
What field has centuries of practice and the best track record in the world of making discoveries with massive legacies? Science!
That’s why I’ve devoted myself to extracting the art of scientific discovery by looking at the past and mining the present. I’ve worked hard to distill that art into a simple, logical, action-inspiring framework. Using it will help anyone gain more insight or discover something new in less time. And not just as a one off. Every. Single. Time.
I’m here to serve as your steadfast guide to becoming the pioneer you always knew you could be. It will be hard work. But the satisfaction of succeeding is unparalleled. And the future needs your insights, gifts, and discoveries.
I have a mantra: “Discovery awaits the mind that pursues it.”
Most pioneers get demoralized at some point. Maybe you gave up before you really started, too afraid to fail. Maybe you dropped out when life knocked you down. Maybe you stayed in the game, but stopped pioneering, too scared to get ignored or dismissed. Maybe you look back and think “what if…?”
Too many people with that hunger to discover what’s possible and what’s out there just stop pursuing discovery.
Carving the way to something new is tough, sometimes lonely, and always filled with self-doubt. But I’m here to help get you over the finish line. You’ve got what it takes. And the world needs what you will discover. If you’re reading this, then let Insci show you how to answer the pioneer call in your soul. This is your comeback moment.
Let’s fire up your discovery skills and transform the future.
When the student is ready, the master appears. Gear up. The universe is telling you to show up for training in 2026. If you’re ready, let me know in the comments here.
Stay fierce, stay focused,
Bernadette
