I am a full-time freelance science writer and editor. My work includes writing popular science articles and profiles, reporting on scientific conferences and events, and assisting scientists, professors, and medical professionals with writing and editing scientific journal articles, presentations, and grants. Presently, my clients include five major Israeli universities, medical professionals at Maccabi Health Services, and several independent companies. I am a member of the Israeli Assocation of Science Communicators and a science correspondent for 18 magazine.

Unique Specialization

Few people possess both the scientific background needed to understand complex scientific concepts and the writing skills required to communicate clearly and effectively.  Effective science communication is important as it encompasses everything from obtaining a major grant to publishing an article about your work.

Science communication, in all forms, is my specialty.  At MIT, I obtained a strong background in the physical and natural sciences and received a Bachelor’s of Science in Brain and Cognitive Sciences.  My second bachelor’s degree from MIT focused on Writing, especially as it relates to science. I interned for outlets like Harvard University’s Office of News and Public Affairs, where I profiled prominent scientists for Harvard’s website, and WGBH’s NOVA, where I researched and edited science-related stories for national broadcast on PBS.  

Research Experience

Few writers, even those who have studied science, have the research experience and familiarity with academia that I offer.  I conducted research in labs at MIT, Harvard Medical School, Cambridge University (UK), and the University of Iowa.  My research resulted in a publication in Neuropsychology, several abstracts, an election to Sigma Xi Research Society, and two research awards. I am well acquainted with the standards and writing styles of academic journals, grants, and review papers.
