Bio/CV

The physical nature of proteins and viruses was the focus of my research during my years as a graduate student and postdoc. I also  dabbled in science communication and data visualization along the way, until that side of my work immersed me completely. Today I am a freelance science writer in addition to my full-time commitment as a Senior Science Editor in academia.
