While much of my writing experience comes from academic publications and reviews (see publications list in 'Academic Experience' tab), I very much enjoy writing about science for the general public. I am always looking to build and expand my portfolio, so please don't hesitate to reach out if you have ideas or are looking to collaborate! Below are some examples of articles I have written:
Nucleate Signal - How does initial seed funding affect biotech success? (Publishing March 2026)
Roberto Ogelman, Lauren Clubb, Pranita Atri
Utilizing public information on funding, we identified patterns in ecosystems. Are companies that have higher initial funding, 'more successful'?
TESS Research Foundation - How do Changes in SLC13A5 affect cells in your brain? (Published February 2026)
Roberto Ogelman, Tanya Brown, Amber Black
In this article, we explore the different cell types of the brain. Additionally we look into how variations in the SLC13A5 gene might alter the function of these cells. SLC13A5 encodes a critical sodium-citrate transporter, which has important implications for energy balance in the brain. Written by me, with help editing from Tanya and Amber at the TESS Foundation.

The Academic - Serotonin balance key to brain development (Published September 2024)
Roberto Ogelman, Luis Gomez Wulschner, Won Chan Oh
Here, we translate concepts from my PhD work to the general public. We explore how imbalances of serotonin can alter excitatory synapse development in the prefrontal cortex. Written by me, with help editing by lab members.
