Science
Whether you’re aiming at experts or general audiences, businesses or individuals, accurate and engaging science communication is key. Here’s some of the work I’ve done in commercial, academic, and public-facing science and health.
For Experts
Constant Demand, Patchy Supply
The first comprehensive study on the global pathologist workforce identifies key disparities in pathologist supply and prepares the ground for correcting these imbalances.
This cover feature article was written for The Pathologist, a specialist scientific and medical publication aimed at experts in pathology and laboratory medicine. Work included interviewing, writing, editing, proofreading, and data processing and visualization.
Today’s Clinical Lab
These articles, written for expert research and medical professionals, cover key news and insights in science and medicine.
Today’s Clinical Lab is a professional publication featuring industry news and insights into the latest trends, technologies, and techniques in the clinical lab. Articles appear in print and online.
Understanding Chromatin Folding
A review article on the role of nucleosome chain folding on DNA accessibility in different functional and epigenetic states and on how chromatin features can be predicted and examined practically.
Grigoryev SA, Schubert M. Unraveling the multiplex folding of nucleosome chains in higher order chromatin. Essays in Biochemistry. 2019 ;63(1):109–121.
Nucleosome Interactions in Living Cells
Metaphase chromosomes in living cells demonstrate a new type of long-range interaction that carries implications for genomic accessibility and epigenetic functions.

For Everyone
Marvel Augmented Reality
How does Captain America’s Super Soldier Serum really work? Could the X gene be real? What turns the Hulk into the Hulk? Get answers to these questions and many more!
Work for Marvel Comics includes consultation on scientific and medical topics, scriptwriting, and presenting for science videos as part of Marvel’s augmented reality app. Readers can scan pages with smartphones to learn more about the real science behind the stories.
After School Science Club
A quirky real-world science podcast exploring your burning questions about everything from bacteria to outer space – airing weekly via your favorite distributor!
After School Science Club targets an adult and older youth audience and tackles every field of science. The show takes a conversational tone and includes frequent guest appearances, factual discussion of recent science news, and themed episodes and mini-series.
I’m a Scientist; Get Me Out of Here!
“I’m a Scientist” is a student-led STEM enrichment activity that connects school students, teachers, parents, and non-traditional learners with scientists through energetic real-time text-based chats and unlimited opportunities to ask questions.
Participants apply and are selected for the program, which includes a popular vote competition for best science communicator. In March 2020, I was voted winner of the Nihonium Zone (general science).
Custom Science Education
I give a variety of interactive talks, presentations, and workshops on various aspects of science. These can serve any age group in any setting; previous venues have included conferences, conventions, workplaces, schools, museums, and even festivals.
“Making a Monster” is a popular draw-along workshop that teaches evolution, ecology, and plausible creature design. It’s popular in schools, at conventions, and among fiction and media creators.
Commercial Work
Commercial Portfolio
A PDF package that includes samples of sponsored and educational articles, infographics, listicles, academic publications, and multimedia projects (webinars, roundtables, podcasts, video features, comic strips, and interactive e-books).
Work includes product and concept development, content strategy, writing, editing, proofreading, speaker selection, interviewing, virtual event hosting, relationship management, and more.
