Research
neuroscientist
I am a scientist with a background in pharmacology and neuroscience. I have spent more than 20 years learning an amazing array of techniques, analyzing data, and publishing my research in peer reviewed journals. Much of that time was spent trying to understand the role of the sensory nervous system in pain, and disorders of the lungs and heart.
scicomm and advocacy
communicator
I love learning about science and helping communicate it with others. Since 2013, I’ve been sharing science stories through events such as taste of science, and a podcast called 2Scientists.
outreach CEO
director
Diverse scientists make for better science. Good scientific information helps us make better decisions as individuals and as a society. However, so much of science is inaccessible to those outside of the academic environment. In response to this I co-founded Scientists Inc – a nonprofit dedicated to finding new ways to engage people with science.
freelance creator
producer
In addition to my nonprofit work, which I continue to do on a volunteer basis, I am also a freelance science communicator and podcast creator. Through my company Artha Science Media, I have the pleasure of helping other organizations craft their scientific message for their communities.
