Davis, PhD, is a professional science communicator with over 30 years of experience working in science — both as a researcher and observer — and conveying its promise, potential, and pitfalls to the world. For the last decade, she has led her own freelance writing practice focused on communicating advances that lie at the intersection of biology, technology, and medicine. Her clients include major academic medical centers and universities, non-profit research organizations, and biopharma companies across the U.S.
