Science News
Writing Services Offered by Liz Osborn
Plain-language summaries and news releases of peer-reviewed articles raise a science journal's profile and broaden its readership. Editors of leading journals, who have already recognized the benefits of reaching a wider audience, regularly accompany published papers with a straightforward synopsis.
Liz specializes in translating key findings from peer-reviewed research into everyday language. Her science summaries assist journal editors in making better use of the internet to promote their journals. The summaries also help scientists convey their findings to a lay audience in a manner that's accurate, clear and engaging.
Liz has summarized hundreds of journal articles on environmental research for Current Results and on equine research for Horse Science News. She has also contributed regular “Journal Watch” columns to BioNews, published by the College of Applied Biology in BC, and to BC Forest Professional, published by the Association of BC Forest Professionals.
