I have been a university research scientist and teacher in biochemistry, molecular biology and immunology for 35 years and now that I no longer do bench science, my goal is to use my knowledge, experience and creativity to guide young scientists and colleagues around the world. There are many, many good scientists whose native language is not English and who struggle to write papers about their work for peer-reviewed English language journals. Journal editors invariably recommend that their papers be edited by a native speaker. Working through the Peerwith Author Assistance platform, I have been able to help hundreds of researchers and scholars in many countries get their important work published in high impact English language journals. Their gratitude is overwhelming and gives me the satisfaction of knowing that I have helped to disseminate their research findings to a wider readership.Communicating new research findings to non-scientists in ways that kindle their curiosity and increase their understanding is also one of my goals. There are so many interesting people doing good science today that a science reporter has enough work for a lifetime. Telling their stories and asking the right questions to bring out the significance of their work is one thing I really enjoy doing. Non-native English speakers often have difficulty accurately describing their work in English and I have long experience in 'translating' inappropriate word choice and sentence construction into clear, readable text.I think all kids like science. That is why I volunteer to help them with science projects at Science Buddies, an idea platform for K-12 students. They're bubbling over with curiosity and that's what fuels research. Science is a unique, questioning way of looking at the world and of testing one's ideas in an organized, verifiable, reproducible way. Once you learn the methods, you can apply them everywhere and there's no limit. As a writer, and futurologist I try to animate possibilities in the minds of my readers. New findings in genetics, nanotechnology, alternative medicine, electronics, archaeology and a hundred other fields offer the curious mind a wealth of opportunities. Translating these findings into plain English is a job I take very seriously. Science does not have all the answers but it is the best we have in my opinion. Explaining the marvelous flow of inventions and processes that appear almost daily in language that an educated person can grasp is my task and it is what I most enjoy. If we share the same goals, let's work together.
