Every new scientific discovery has the potential of deeply impacting our lives and our planet: Isn't it fundamental to be informed?
With the development of social media such as 'X' and Facebook, people have simpler and quicker access to facts and information, including scientific information. However, the biggest drawback of easily accessible knowledge is that not everything that you find out there is checked for quality or truthfulness. Nonetheless, too often the more sensational the news, the more quickly it spreads initiating debates among people that have no sufficient information to develop fact-based opinions. This can be very dangerous. While I believe in the dream of getting more and more people interested in science, I also believe in the importance of sharing good quality scientific information, in particular by vulgarizing specialistic literature into more accessible material for the lay public.
In my portfolio (you can read my articles below) you will find accessible scientific information, mainly directed to a non-specialized audience. My promise to you: facts are checked and up-to-date with current literature at the time of writing. My main interest is in the fields of synthetic biology and biocatalysis, but I am happy to write about any scientific discipline.
Would you like me to write a piece for you? Would you like to collaborate on a project? Contact me!

Are you in the synthetic biology field? In this case, the more specialized PLOS blog articles are for you! In the year 2016/2017 I acted as Community Editor of the PLOS Synbio community. My job was to write about the latest advancements, and interview leaders in the field of synthetic biology. You can read my articles on PLOS Blogs (links below).
