I’m a Stanford-educated public information officer and science writer with broad experience in health care, traditional media, technology, social media and government. I’m also experienced in media training, crisis management and public speaking. I’m using this blog to supplement my work at UCSF, to give readers a behind-the-scenes look at how we take complicated scientific research and turn it into a news article that is understandable and relatable to a lay audience. Let me know if you have questions or thoughts. Enjoy.
