Profile articles

I like interviewing scientists from a variety of disciplines, and then sharing with my readers their personal stories and how these stories have shaped their professional lives. I wrote profile articles quarterly for the AWIS newsletter, and I have also contributed content to organizations like the Fred Hutch Project Violet, the UW College of the Environment, and the 50th anniversary of the UW Department of Astronomy. 

1) Profiles I have written for the quarterly AWIS newsletter:

• • My entrepreneurial venture: a long and winding road. An interview with Dr. Carla Grandori, founder of Cure First. 

  • Joan Greve: a “come back” to the Ivory Tower. 

  • I wanted it all and I have it all. An interview with Loria Yeadon. 

  • Nancy Hutchison: from biomedical research to science outreach in the classrooms. 

  • Anna Wald, MD: the Queen of Herpes. 

  • Valerie Collymore: From pediatrics to impressionism. 

  • Betz Halloran, from Mathematics to Ebola. 

  • Julie Lutz: paving the road for gender equality. 

  • To quit or not to quit? Working with a micromanager.

2) Profiles I have written for Project Violet (Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center) social media. 

• Chris Mehlin, Small compounds derived from organisms: a big promise for cancer treatment. 

• Colin Correnti: an entrepreneurial path to fight rare pediatric diseases. 

• Damon May: a meaningful computer scientist. 

3) Profiles I have written for the UW College of the Environment newsletter:

• Angela Feng, Senior in Environmental Studies. 

4) I wrote most of the profiles that appear on the UW Department of Astronomy 50th anniversary commemoration website, along with the different historical summaries of the department.
