scientist + science writer
I am a PhD student at the Institute for Protein Design in Seattle. We aim to build a new world of proteins to address 21st century challenges in medicine, energy and technology. I'm also a science communication fellow at the Pacific Science Center and a special advisor for SynBioBeta 2018. My writing for The Conversation has appeared in more than 30 online outlets:
