Technical and Science Writing Portfolio

Environmental Factor is the flagship newsletter of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, part of the National Institutes of Health. During my 5-year tenure as editor in chief, I developed it into a national award-winning newsletter. In June 2018, the National Association of Government Communicators gave it First Place among e-newsletters.

Besides running the enterprise, with an excellent track record of on-time publication of each monthly issue, I also write some of the stories, covering a broad range of topics. Below is a sampling. Scroll down to see links to my work in other publications.

My writing has also been published in the NIH Catalyst, which covers in-house research across all the National Institutes of Health, and the NIH Record.
