Popular Science Writing

I was previously a writer for the Loh Down on Science radio show and podcast from 2020-2021. I am now an editor. As a writer, I transformed complex scientific papers into easy listening for the public in 180-word, radio-ready scripts. Later as an editor, I reviewed pitches for stories, edited scripts, and collaborated with the executive team to manage writers and record scripts. The Loh Down on Science is broadcasted by the National Public Radio and the Southern California Public Radio.

Check out some of my writing pieces below!
