I am the science communication manager at the University of Washington's Institute for Protein Design. Our work was recently selected as Science's Breakthrough of the Year. I'm also a freelance science writer and biotechnology consultant.
My science writing has appeared in The Washington Post, Forbes, Scientific American, and more than thirty other outlets. My science visualizations have appeared in The New York Times, Science, Nature, and beyond. Before becoming a science communicator, I studied "junk" DNA, advanced biofuels, and used computers to design new genes. COVID-19 vaccine: I participated in the world's first clinical trial of a vaccine for COVID-19. This trial helped establish the safety of the Moderna/NIH mRNA vaccine. |
