Profile Summary

If a scientific concept is found but no-one hears about it, does it make a difference? || Collecting Data and Thinking up Ideas is only the Beginning || You need to communicate your findings to specialists in your field. You need to reach out to the public at large. I can help you write manuscripts for the journals, and get your colleagues reading. I can help you with outreach, and get the people speaking. || Writing Demands Time and Energy that can be Spent Elsewhere || Your job is to learn, and teach, and provide for society. It's not your job to write. But there are manuscripts to publish, funding agencies to satisy and lectures to prepare. It's my job to write about your research so you don't have to. You can spend your attention where it's needed most. || The Freelance Scholar Has Got You Covered || I can devote my skill and attention to your communication needs. I'm a trained researcher and a professional writer, performing academic duties for freelance. As a medical writer I have the most experience with oncology and cardio. As a scientist I have the most experience with ecology, evolution and behaviour. But I am trained to learn, so whatever your particular needs... If you have a job for a scholar, I can do it. I can promise a professional attitude, a collaborative spirit and dogged perseverance. Please be in touch if you've got a job or any questions. || Contact || www.drstevilphd.com dr.stevil.phd@gmail.com || Services || -- Medical Communications -- Scientific Communications -- Manuscript Writing and Revisions -- Public Relations and Outreach -- Editing and Proof-reading -- English Language Support -- Tutoring -- Critical Review -- Presentations, Posters and Teaching Material -- Topic Research Summaries -- Plain Language Summaries -- Statistical Analysis and Interpretation
