I’ll help make your research make a difference.
I partner closely with research teams to craft publications that make an impact on the scientific community. I think strategically, pay attention to details, and lead with kindness.
Science communication leadership
I bring a clear-eyed understanding of the complexities of science communication. When it comes to issues of style, grammar, and audience expectations, I guide teams towards choices that will help them achieve their goals.
Here’s what I bring to the table…
Scientific rigor
Ensure that study data and methods are accurate, complete, and reproducible.
Regulatory compliance
Craft publications that meet the highest editorial and reporting standards.
Consistency & clarity
Design text and visuals that are effective
and efficient.
Content strategy
Conduct genre and audience research to establish ambitious and achievable
publication goals.
Team Work
I work closely with research teams to support their publication goals.
Here’s how I contribute…
Collaborative
I partner with bench scientists, clinicians, statisticians, and other researchers to unify their contributions into publications that make an impact.
Curious
I love working with smart people who care about what they do. My job is an incredible opportunity to learn about and contribute to the amazing world of scientific discovery.
Supportive
I work to foster an environment that promotes creativity, honesty, kindness and
iterative improvement.
Mindset
I help research teams shift their mindset from scientific discovery to scientific communication.
Rethinking science communication
I have a vision for how science communication could be, how it could be better, more accessible, and a more effective catalyst for positive change.
Here is how I make a difference…
Calibrated
A lot of science communication is more complicated than it needs to be. I finely calibrate publications to be as accessible as possible without sacrificing rigor.
Reader-centered
Reading can be hard work. I strive to create content give readers a good experience that they want to share.
Integrity
I am careful not to overstate findings or make inflated marketing pitches. Instead, I strive to communicate the real strengths and insights of each project I work on.
Message focused
I help research teams answer the question “so what?”, which is essential for crafting publications with impact.
Bringing Research to Life
I bring research to life by getting it on the page, in front of readers’ eyeballs, where it can spark imaginations and serve as an enduring record of your work.
Ways I can support you…
Publication development
I’ll help generate ideas, develop content, and guide drafts through iterative improvement. I see projects through from conception to submission to final publication.
Data visualization
I will work with analysts and statisticians to develop graphs and diagrams that are as good-looking as they are useful.
Spark engagement
The work doesn’t end when the article gets published! I’ll help you craft a communication plan to get eyeballs in front of your work and maximize it’s impact.
Submission management
I guide the submission process from start to finish. From identifying the best fit for your content, to document prep, to post-submission monitoring.
Generative AI use philosophy
Generative AI is a powerful tool for professionals like myself to increase productivity and improve the consistency and quality of our work. When it comes to using AI, I follow a few key principals.
Transparency
It is important to be transparent about how generative AI is used to produce content. Many publishers, including most academic journals, require authors to provide a descriptive statement about they used AI. Some organizations have rules and limitations about how AI can be used. So, it is important to understand reporting requirements and use AI in an appropriate and transparent way.
Accountability
AI agents are not capable of taking accountability for the quality or veracity of the content they produce. It is essential that a human expert review, edit, and verify all content produced by generative AI. An AI agent can’t stand behind its work and take accountability for it’s quality, but I can.
Human Leadership
AI is a tool that requires a human user and human-leadership. I wouldn’t ask a colleague to do something for me without giving them all the materials and information they needed to be successful. The same is true when I prompt an AI agent to do something for me. Just like most of us, AI agents benefit from clear, detailed instructions and plenty of context.
AI agents also benefit from human oversight and editing. When a colleague gives me a document to look over, I don’t immediately assume it is perfect. I approach it with open-minded curiosity and a goal to leave it better than I found it. I bring the same attitude to content generated by an AI agent.
Good Judgement
There are plenty of things that AI does very well and plenty of things it struggles with. I use my best judgement when using AI to make sure that it’s the right tool for the job.
Watchfulness
AI has made remarkable progress in recent years and it doesn’t seem to be slowing down. It is important to view AI as an evolving technology. I try to experiment with AI on a routine basis. I have found that a task it struggled with a year ago, It can do quite well today. So, I try to pay attention and be open to change.
