Lauren M. Dembeck, PhD

Science should be communicated with clear, concise language to most effectively engage and educate the reader. With over a decade of rigorous scientific training, I can understand a broad range of topics and complex statistics allowing me to extract and present only the most relevant details and findings. I minimize the use of jargon and transform difficult biomedical concepts into familiar terms; by doing so, I am proud to deliver my clients easy-to-read, compelling content for their science and medical writing needs.
