Writing with women in mind!
I chose the scientific path so I wouldn’t have to write as school essays never filled me with joy! As a postdoc, I told myself it was hard to write. But in attempting a blogging challenge several years ago, I discovered that writing for a purpose and sharing my ideas was something I loved to do.

Articles for Times Higher Education Campus
I now have a portfolio (that word again!) of articles on topics such as the sunk cost fallacy and why you should embrace LinkedIn as a researcher (you really should!).

Happy to explore if I can write for you. My favourite soapboxes include women’s development, researcher careers and why The Time Traveller’s Wife really is sci fi. The latter is why I left my book club.
