Katharine S.
Science and Writing Specialist
I am a former biomedical researcher with a knack for writing and an eye for detail. My skill sets include writing scientific articles, technical content and web copy; editing manuscripts, technical writing and grant proposals; and designing and troubleshooting experiments. I find projects that allow me to make complex, technical subject matter accessible and compelling to any individual particularly rewarding, and my broad skill set and experience make me an ideal candidate for projects in small businesses, research labs and startups. My professional experience began as an award-winning biology instructor at the college and university levels, teaching entry- through graduate-level courses for over three years. Over the next decade, I performed highly technical heart research, where I discovered a new form of dilated cardiomyopathy and developed and implemented a gene therapy treatment in a mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. I now work exclusively as a science consultant and freelance writer.
