My editorial work benefits from my training and service as a research scientist and Associate Professor with 12+ years' experience directing an independent biomedical research program at Mayo Clinic while serving as Principal Investigator on grant awards, overseeing annual budgets from $180,000 to $300,000, and productively managing multiple overlapping projects with competing timelines. I am experienced with authoring study protocols, progress reports, abstracts and posters for scientific meetings, as well as biomedical research papers and reviews. I have peer reviewed technical manuscripts for 20+ scientific journals besides serving as grant reviewer for the U.S. National Institutes of Health, the British Medical Research Council, and private foundations. These efforts utilize my experience not only in researching important medical problems and patient outcomes, but also with project organization and management, managing teams of people effectively, plus technical writing skills and detail-oriented preparation of grant applications. Editing is refreshing to me and keeps me up to date on a diverse range of important biomedical issues.
I have retired as a professor working in a wide range of fields, including virology, mammalian genetics, cell biology, neuroscience, and biochemistry. I have 43 publications and have been a peer reviewer for many journals. While I am starting as an editor, I have been editing as a primary role for more than 25 years. I have spent five years running a laboratory in India, where I acquired ample experience editing Indian English for publication in US journals. I also have published manuscripts with collaborators from Latin America. I speak some Spanish, French, and Portuguese, as well as a tiny bit of Kannada.

She has co-authored papers published in Cell Reports, Molecular Cell, Nature, Journal of Proteomics, Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, Nature Methods, amongst other journals, working on cell cycle signaling and phosphorylation networks. She has also aided in the peer review of many manuscripts, for journals, including Cell, Molecular Cell, Journal of Proteomics, Molecular and Cellular Proteomics, Journal of Biological Chemistry, and Biochemical Journal. Since 2017, she has been partnering with Editage, where she uses her research experience to help authors reach their publication goals.
I'm a molecular and cellular biologist with over 10 years of expertise in diverse fields including RNA biology, virology, and bioinformatics. I'm passionate about science accessibility, with keen interest in scientific writing and editing.
For 17 years, I applied my knowledge of cellular and molecular biology in the field of DNA repair and genome stability. Translating my doctoral and postdoctoral researches into publications helped me to develop my writing skills early on. As a postdoc at the Cancer Research UK and the University of Oxford, I regularly edited and proofread manuscripts and grant applications for colleagues. My interest in academic editing growing continuously, in 2018, I took a specialised course training as a proofreader and editor with the College of Media and Publishing. I believe that simple language and sentences can be used to deliver a clear and engaging message, even with highly specialised subjects. Combining scientific and writing expertise, I aim to help scientists around the world to publish the best possible version of their work.
I am an academic with over 15 years' experience of scientific research and publication in the fields of neuroscience and psychology. I have extensive experience working with other academics and doctoral students to produce high quality papers, with over 30 publications to date in major international journals. I have also acted as a reviewer for many different journals and several major funding bodies. My editing experience has grown out of these activities and includes substantial experience of working with undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as with fellow academics, whose first language is not English. I am used to working in multidisciplinary teams and producing research outputs that incorporate a range of fields of expertise across medical, health and life-sciences as well as in areas of computer science and statistics.
I am a NARSAD P&S Fund Young Investigator Award working as part of a multidisciplinary depression neurobiology research group in Trinity College Dublin, Ireland. I have extensive experience in studies investigating the role of epigenetic factors, in particular microRNAs, in the pathophysiology of depression and the mechanism of action of antidepressant treatments. In addition, I have expertise in the areas of neurotrophic, glial, inflammatory, and intracellular signaling markers, animal models of depression and also in telomere length and telomerase analyses. I have been a reviewer for manuscripts submitted to Biological Psychiatry, Scientific Reports, Journal of Anxiety Disorders, PLoS ONE and DNA and Cell Biology. I have authored or co-authored papers for Pilot and Feasibility Studies, Brain Behavior and Immunity, Journal of Psychopharmacology, Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica, Neurochemistry International, Neuroscience Letters, Neuropharmacology, Journal of Neuroimmunology, European Journal of Psychopharmacology and the International Journal of Neuropsychopharmacology. I have also authored a chapter included in Mapping nervous system disease via microRNAs published in Frontiers in Neurotherapeutics in 2016
Dr. Shawn Milrad holds a B.S. in Atmospheric Science from Cornell University and a M.Sc. and Ph.D in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences from McGill University in Montreal, Canada. Originally from New York City, he has been at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) since 2013. He has developed and led several severe weather field courses at ERAU, including the use of mobile radar observations. He also likes to chase tornadoes in the Great Plains in his “spare time”. Dr. Milrad's research is focused on synoptic-dynamic meteorology, with specializations in extreme precipitation events, heat waves, ice storms, and the extratropical transition of tropical cyclones. Over the past five years, he has more than fifteen peer-reviewed publications on the dynamics of extreme weather, primarily within the context of climate change. Dr. Milrad strongly believes in good academic writing and editing. As a longtime author and peer reviewer for more than ten atmospheric science journals, including those from the American Meteorological Society and Royal Meteorological Society, Dr. Milrad has refined his writing and editing skills through attention to detail. Numerous times, co-authors and peer reviewers of Dr. Milrad's articles have remarked at how well-written his manuscripts are. In early 2018, Dr. Milrad published his first textbook with Elsevier, on Introductory Weather Analysis and Forecasting. Throughout the writing process, the content and copy editors were pleased with the writing style and lack of errors. As an editing philosophy for manuscripts of his own, his students, and his peers, Dr. Milrad believes in clear, concise writing from which an educated reader can easily understand the concepts being discussed and learn from the article. His nine years of teaching undergraduate courses at all levels has also helped to refine and improve Dr. Milrad's writing, discussion and presentation styles.
I have gone part-time from my full time lecturing job to spend more time on my rural property. Editing provides a great way to make money in a remote area! I have 20 years' experience writing and editing papers, both for my PhD students, and, more recently, as a professional editor.
I'm an experienced research scientist with many years of working through the editorial process. I have a firm grasp of what it takes for a manuscript to be published in this landscape. I alsoI am a full time academic at the University of Oxford, United Kingdom. My work revolves around teaching and research in the medical sciences. I have published over 100 peer-reviewed research manuscripts and contributed around the same number of abstracts to national and international scientific conferences. I have also published a range of reviews, editorials, commentaries, and popular science articles, and acted as senior editor for four academic textbooks. I also review manuscripts for a range of journals and research funding agencies. I have worked in academia for over 25 years now and have developed a robust and motivated approach to scientific communication. I began working as a freelance scientific editor over 14 years ago and have edited well over 4000 manuscripts thus far. I love my work as a freelance editor for a number of reasons. I get to read manuscripts covering a diverse array of topics; I find that this helps to broaden my knowledge base. Second, I get to help other authors to improve their writing skills and see their work move towards publication. By providing editorial assistance in this way, I hope to encourage others to adopt a similar approach to the way they communicate their science. have worked extensively with non-North American scientists, and know what publications mean to people not working in "Western" academia.
