Science Writing for Biology and Environmental Research

As an experienced science writer and blogger, I craft your scientific story in a logical, engaging and accessible way. Your audience understands your science while you can focus on your research and next publication.

What does science writing with me look like?

Whether you want to reach experts, non-experts or scientists from your field, we’ll create the story outline together and choose the right format and audience. I’ll transform your ideas into words, keeping your key message clear and your audience engaged.

Regardless of where and what you want to publish, I am happy to support you with your project in the format of your choice.

Tell me about

  • The format (scientific manuscript, commentary article, issue brief, report, blog post, press release, newsletter or executive summary)
  • The audience (other scientists from your field, scientists from outside of your field, non-experts)
  • The current stage of the article (outlined, written, edited) and deadline

and I will help you shape, write or finish your science writing project with a clear message, logical structure and the right level of detail for your audience.

If you have any other exciting ideas of how to tell your science story, I am happy to discuss your vision.

Strategic science writing for issue briefs, reports and research stories

You bring the research, expert knowledge, meeting insights or technical draft, and I help you turn them into a clear science story with a strong message, logical structure and the right language for your audience. Together, we can transform complex scientific material into clear, credible and strategically framed written outputs, such as:

  • Issue briefs
  • Scientific reports
  • White papers
  • Executive summaries
  • Commentary articles
  • Public-facing research summaries
  • Website content based on research
  • Articles for scientific and non-specialist audiences

This is especially useful when your content needs to inform decisions, support policy conversations, explain a research project or make expert knowledge accessible to a wider audience.

Together, we can clarify:

  • Who the piece is for
  • What your audience needs to understand
  • Which key message should guide the story
  • How to structure the argument logically
  • Which details belong in the main text
  • Where nuance, caveats or definitions are needed
  • How to make the writing clear without oversimplifying the science

Depending on your project, I can help you develop the outline, rewrite an existing draft, sharpen the message, improve the flow or turn expert input into a finished piece of writing.

The goal is not just to make the text sound better. It is to make sure your research is communicated clearly, accurately and with a strong message your audience can remember.
