 A large amount of my time has been dedicated to developing a five-part series on Women in Science. The series, funded by the Burroughs Wellcome Fund, is looking at the unique challenges faced by women in science as well as possible solutions to retain more talent in the field. Just last year, I finished my work with the aids2031 science and technology working group, helping inform the the UNAIDS-sponsored program's formal recommendations on how to end the pandemic by the year 2031. I also have been invited to attend seminars at academic institutions in the Research Triangle Park area and to write my own commentaries on the scientific discussions for peer-reviewed journals. I have edited popular articles as well as scientific manuscripts, and am comfortable targeting both academic and lay audiences.
My work has been published by the Raleigh News & Observer and Charlotte Observer, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, American Scientist, the Burroughs Wellcome Fund, the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, the Mayo Clinic, Family Health International and Duke University Medical Center. I welcome freelance assignments that give me the opportunity to delve into the latest scientific discoveries and learn more about the researchers who make them. To see some of my work, take a look at the Writing section.
