Speaking & Workshops
At the heart of what I do is to tell impeccably-researched evidence-based stories in a straightforward and compelling way.
Because I made the big leap from a traditional academic career to running my business as a science writer, I’m often invited to speak about ‘alternative’ career paths for scientists and PhD students.
Talk to me about how I can tailor my workshop or talk to your particular audience and desired outcomes.
TEDx – Indulge Your Neurobiology. My TEDxNorthernSydneyInstitute talk ‘Indulge Your Neurobiology’ … in which I share my brain hack to improve memory, spark creativity and regulate emotions (no app, course or guru required!).
SBS Insight. Is your health all in your head? You can catch me talking about the neurobiology of placebos via the SBSInsight replay site or on YouTube (I’m speaking at 12 mins, 42 mins and 48 mins).
Neural Knitworks – craft a healthy brain. View a recent talk I gave to a Neural Knitworks ‘knit in’ on the benefits of knitting to brain health.
‘Life After A PhD’ – Talk to Garvan Medical Research Institute. Click the link below to view a talk in 2013 to PhD students on my journey from scientist to science writing to creating this blog!
Your Brain Matters. A quick vox pop I did for Alzheimer’s Australia (and watch to the very end when I chime in again!!)
How to: Scientist to Science Writer.
Ready to hang up your lab coat and enter the world of science, health and medical communications? But not really sure what the options are and what steps you should take next?
I’m thrilled to offer my one-to-one ‘Scientist to Communicator’ training days for scientists, academics or health professionals interested in a career in health, medical or science communications.
I’ve mentored numerous scientists and other health professionals over the last five years as they’ve transitioned from the world of academia or research into the world of science communications, medical writing, freelance journalism, pharma and not-for-profit consultancy.
