Science Writer for Empirical Debate Platform
Emma was great to work with and delivered well-written summaries of complex, academic papers. She understood not just the task in front of her but the bigger picture as well, and aligned her work accordingly.

Summarising research articles into digestible notes
I cannot recommend Emma highly enough. She undertook a project summarising complicated research articles into digestible notes. She has a high attention to detail, is great at summarising and pulling out the most important points into simple sentences that you can return to later. She is helpful and a good communicator. Would 100% hire again,.

Content writer with experience in behavioral scientific research
Great quality of work, quick to respond and pro-active communication. Open to feedback and motivated to work together to get the best results for both parties. Able to translate scientific publications into blog post that are engaging and fun to read. People with no background in research will understand the subject matter when reading Emma's blogs. Profound knowledge and in-depth understanding of the neuroscience research field makes it easy to work and communicate with Emma. Highly recommended!
