A Highlight of My Work
Eye Cancer Genes Predetermine Its Spread to the Liver
Researchers at Yale School of Medicine have now identified biological markers for a rare, aggressive eye cancer that predict the likelihood of secondary tumors forming in the liver. The finding, published recently in npj Precision Oncology, offers new opportunities for both monitoring the cancer’s progression in patients and evaluating how well drugs might treat it.

Plants, Mountains Play Important Role in Iron Cycle
The iron record, long believed to chronicle changes in oceanic and atmospheric oxygen levels, may also reflect mountain building events and the evolution of plants on land. The findings, published in the journal PNAS, reveals new ways to interpret this distinctive feature in the geological record.

Does increased seeding rate benefit winter wheat when sowing is delayed?
A new study examined 22 published articles and found increased seeding rate, the proposed management approach to accommodate late sowing date for winter wheat, may not affect yield for many regions around the world. The findings are published in the journal Crop Science.
About Me
A scientist talking to scientists and bringing the latest discoveries to the people.
No AI. Just people sharing information for the greater good.
My Services
Writing
I am an expert at developing press releases, web articles, and feature stories to raise the visibility of scientific research for a broader audience, with work appearing in The New York Times, Forbes, The Washington Post, NPR, and the BBC, among others.
Technical Editing
I am an adept editor who can elevate the author’s voice while bringing clarity and plain language to the content and, where necessary, maintaining an organization’s brand voice. I have also served as technical editor on two textbooks.
Larger Projects
I have worked with scientific organizations to prepare minutes during annual and quarterly meetings to share outcomes with constituents and preserve a record of discussions for future consideration.
