Vita

Scientific writing needs scientific thinking. In can think like a scientist because I studied biology and worked for many years as a researcher.

I learned scientific writing in the course of preparing numerous publications of my own, then working as a freelance scientific writer for many years, and also by taking relevant advanced training.

All the writing courses I offer are based on the techniques of scientific writing that I have learned and practiced in 10 years of working in research and more than 15 years working as a freelance scientific writer in life sciences – and still use in my everyday work.
