I am a neuroscientist specializing in traumatic brain injury and stroke. I am also a medical writer covering wound care topics. I mainly edit scientific articles to make them more accessible and comprehensible to the average reader. I also like writing articles about cellular biology, technology, and biographical articles about scientists.
