    I'm a retired academic with 30 years' experience in life-science research, education and publishing. So I understand your problem, as I've spent decades helping people just like YOU. Here’s how I can help with your scientific project: –Literature search and review –Experimental design and sample size estimation –Quantitative image analysis (2D or 3D) –Descriptive statistics and hypothesis testing –Creating tables, charts, graphical abstracts and illustrations –Writing, editing, formatting, and creating bibliographies I can start from scratch or work with YOUR existing materials. I’m skilled with tools like Excel, Illustrator, Photoshop, Prism, PubMed, EndNote, and LaTeX. For more advanced tasks, I use Expasy, FIJI, Genious, GEO, Sequencher, NCBI, UniProt, and genome browsers like Ensembl and UCSC. As my postdoc advisor once said, "You can explain it to 100 people one at a time, or you can write one great set of instructions." So if you need a manual, protocol, or Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), I can help with that too. Using my deep experience writing clear instructions for labs and classrooms, I can cover every topic: experiments, equipment maintenance, data analysis, financial and accounting workflows, software manuals, chemical safety or whatever might be your critical need. A little more about ME: I ran an NIH-funded research lab for 23 years and have published 25+ research papers. I’ve also reviewed over 50 scientific manuscripts and scored grants for NIH, NSF, and DOD. I’m an ASCP-certified Molecular Biologist and taught biology, genetics, cell biology, histology, epidemiology, and statistics at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. And let's end with US. Because together, we might be unstoppable.

    I'm an MA graduate of the University of Chicago, having studied both cultural and linguistic anthropology. This provided me with the skillset to quickly proofread academic writing across a wide range of disciplines within the social sciences. My familiarity with qualitative research methods means I can assist you with qualitative data coding and thematic analysis, along with interview transcription. I have proofread the academic article of a former professor prior to its submission to academic journals, and do not use AI at any stage of the proofreading process. I also have extensive experience with citation styles used within the social sciences and humanities, including Chicago Style/Turabian, the American Psychological Association (APA), Harvard, and the Modern Language Association (MLA). Consistent, clear communication and providing thorough, constructive feedback are my top priorities when working with people on their projects. Beyond this, I am certified through the CITI Program in Social and Behavioral Sciences IRB Human Subjects Protection, Group 2. HSP, Social / Behavioral Research Investigators and Key Personnel, and IPS for Researchers. My research proposal was successfully approved by the IRB during my graduate program, and I have experience in assisting others with preparing qualitative research proposals for IRB submission. I would be glad to provide you with advice within that space as well. While I can provide assistance with projects across the social sciences, I'm especially interested in research focused on global power dynamics and the transmission of culture through language, and my thesis project focused on issues around refugees and human rights. If you're working on a related project, please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions, or just to chat!
