<p class="Default" style="text-align: justify;">I am a detail-oriented person with a background in scientific research (Biochemistry, Molecular and Cellular Biology, and Parasitology), writing, and communication. I have a strong interest in applying my writing skills to the communication of Science. My career aim is to use my academic experience and passion for writing to better convey knowledge to others.&nbsp;<br /><br />During my research career, both as PhD student and post-doc, I was required to write reports on the progress of the work, scientific papers, and grant applications to national and international funding agencies. Additionally, I proofread and copy-edited written reports and theses of several students I supervised and prepared them for the oral presentation of their work.<br /><br />When I edit a document, I look not only for grammar errors but I also try to make the text&nbsp;readable/understandable for the public. Therefore, the proposed changes are always accompanied with comments where I explain the option given. &nbsp;<br /><br />Never underestimate the importance of a comma!</p>
