About
After years of investigating the physical nature of proteins and viruses as a student/postdoctoral researcher, I ventured out of the lab to focus on science communication. In addition to my day job as a senior science editor in academia, I enjoy writing about research for general audiences and finding new ways to visualize data. Please don't hesitate to contact me if I can help tell the story of your science to a particular audience.
