Scientific and Technical Projects

Whether your goal is to:

educate the public or colleagues,
promote a new product,
position your company or lab in the industry,
or craft a proposal that will hit the mark,

I can help. Writing about scientific and technical subjects is my specialty.

I love working with researchers and technicians, and with companies large and small that provide scientific products or services. Check out samples of my work below to see how I might help.
