Description
I have much to offer as a technical writer in the Life Sciences, either full or part time. My writing ability is documented by having published over 150 technical papers, mostly in peer-reviewed journals. I have written many grant proposals to Federal agencies (NSF, USDA, EPA, DOE), have served on several editorial boards of scientific journals, and as a professor for 28 years at Cornell University I honed my oral communication skills by daily (and nightly) discussions and debates with students, postdocs, and visiting scientists in my lab. Moreover, I have presented invited lectures at many national and international scientific meetings, and have been an invited guest lecturer at a large number of universities in the US and abroad. Finally, my background is deep and diverse, including work in academia, industry, and government. I am thus competent and comfortable dealing with a multidisciplinary environment.
