I've spent nearly 10 years teaching scientific writing alongside studying RNA and developmental biology. Now as a Research Development Fellow with the Greco and Reinke labs in the Yale Genetics department, I write grants and mentor graduate students through writing papers.

I love crafting scientific stories and helping scientists communicate their work most effectively. Storytelling is central to every part of the scientific process - we start to form stories as soon as we look at the data, and remodel those stories based on further observation, reading the literature, and discussing with our colleagues. We eventually formalize those stories into papers, grants, and dissertations, so they can become the building blocks of the next phase of scientific investigation. I explore this process and teach it to others both as someone embedded in scientific research myself, and as a formal instructor of scientific writing.
