Hi! I’m Betty and I’m a scientist-turned-strategic research communicator. I started this blog in 2015 at the end of my PhD when I was looking for a way to practice my science communication skills and build a portfolio for myself. Since then, I have worked in various research communications roles where I’ve been able to leverage my academic training and expertise to tell impactful stories about science.

I am passionate about infectious diseases, antibiotic stewardship and public health so you will likely see a fair number of posts on those topics. But let’s be honest, all science is pretty neat and I will try my best to cover a wide variety of topics. Lately my interests have extended into non-science topics so you may even find me writing about art or literature! If you have suggestions for topics you’d like me to cover, feel free to leave a comment below or drop me a line at eatreadscience@gmail.com.
