Freelance writer, Chemical & Engineering News

cenblog.org/just-another-electron-pusher/

I'm a freelance science writer and blogger, and I juggle that alongside chemistry graduate research at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

I write about the latest news in chemistry, with a focus on bioanalytical chemistry and chemical biology, and I blog about nontraditional careers for chemists, and other career-related topics.

I'm looking forward to graduating this May and launching a full-time science journalism career. So excited to be coming to Science Online 2012!
