Magazine/Features

In the past I’ve done some freelance work–with and without a byline–for institutional press and engineering trade publications. From 2010 to 2014, I was responsible for the content in The Wistar Institute’s Focus magazine, a publication for Wistar’s friends and donors, as well as their Annual Report.

I was blessed with exceptional designers, but I think the writing wasn’t too shabby either. I do not believe you can find them online directly, but here are some examples.

2010 Annual Report: [Expedition Wistar]

2013 Annual Report:[Changing the World]

Fall 2011 Special Construction Issue Wistar Focus: [Upward! A New Trajectory for The Wistar Institute]

Winter-Spring 2012 Wistar Focus: [Brave Enough to Say “Cure”]

Press Releases

Over the last two decades I’ve written more press releases than I can remember. In fact, I need to harness the power of search engines just to collect even a fraction of them.

You can find many of the releases I’ve written housed on the Eurekalert! servers, courtesy of AAAS. [link]
