While earning my PhD in microbiology and immunology, I realized I love explaining insights from the world of science in a way that everyone can understand. As a freelancer and a former intern for Nature Medicine and The Scientist,  I’ve reported on  infectious disease, cancer, drug development, economics, clinical trials, vaccines, neuroscience, federal drug regulations, and more.  

Journalism has broadened my appreciation of science, but I’ll always be especially fond of covering research about the immune system, a force that touches every part of human health and disease. Read about it on my blog archive, immYOUnology.
