I am a professional medical writer, biomedical researcher and educator, with many years of experience developing peer-reviewed academic publications and educational content for biomedical professionals. I have also considerable training as an educator at the high school and college levels, and also enjoy writing on many non-scientific topics, including politics, public policy, sports and history. I believe that the foundation of good writing is being an astute observer, a good listener, and a creative thinker. Moreover, I continually try to put myself in the shoes of whomever is my target audience, and anticipate their questions, interests and concerns.
