Careers in Science Communication & Science Writing

Are you a neuroscience student/working scientist interested in learning to communicate your research area to the public? Interested in getting involved in science communication or science writing? At this event, you'll hear from several neuroscientists currently involved in science communication and writing; they'll provide a summary of their current work, as well as information about their respective career paths and advice for those interested in entering the field. Speakers: Jared Boyce MSc (Science/Med Communicator) is an M3/G0 in the Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health (UWSMPH). He was born to Trinidadian immigrants and spent part of his early childhood in Brooklyn, NY before moving to Long Island, NY where he graduated from high school. He attended Dartmouth College where he studied Neuroscience and minored in the Anthropology of Global Health. At Dartmouth, he was a violinist for the Dartmouth Chamber Orchestra, Undergraduate Advisor for First-Year students, served as Vice President of Chimera Senior Society, and was an E.E. Just STEM Scholar. After graduating from Dartmouth he worked in several research labs at Weill Cornell, Mount Sinai, and Columbia’s Zuckerman Institute. Simultaneously, he served as Co-Chair of Children of Bellevue’s Associate Board of Directors for several years. He pursued his ScM in Medical Sciences from the Alpert Medical School at Brown University before matriculating into the MSTP at the UWSMPH where he is today! Outside of classes and the clinic, he enjoys rock climbing, reading, exploring museums, rummaging through second-hand bookstores to collect old science, medicine, and psychology books, watching anime, and writing. He also advocates for the rights of children, refugees/asylum seekers, and historically marginalized populations through the American Medical Association, American Academy of Pediatrics, American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, and Wisconsin Medical Society.

Erin Harris, PhD (Staff Scientist) is a research scientist in Dr. Debra Bangasser's lab at Georgia State University. Dr. Harris earned her PhD in 2017 from the University of Virginia in the lab of Dr. Emilie Rissman. She continued her research as a postdoctoral scientist in the lab of Dr. Olivia O’Leary at University College Cork in Ireland and at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) with Dr. Serena Dudek. Dr. Harris's research interests include early life stress, sex differences, social behavior, adolescence, and mental health. She works on several projects and collaborations in the lab: Understanding the impact of early life adversity on cognition and motivated behavior in male and female rats; the effect of sex chromosome complement on social play, reward, and cognition; and evaluating the impact of ovarian hormone loss in a transgenic rat model of Alzheimer’s disease. Outside the lab, Erin enjoys singing with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Chorus, traveling, making TikToks, and trying new restaurants.

She had almost hit my third year in that position when her advisor broke the news that grant money had dried up which meant everyone in the lab, except two graduate students, would lose their jobs. This realization led her to pivot away from an academic profession into an exciting career in medical writing and communications. Once she successfully navigated into a career outside academia, she made it her mission to share her lessons to help Ph.D.s design, land, and thrive in careers they love. She started The Bold PhD Consulting to do just that. These days, when she is not writing scientific content for my day job at a Fortune 500 company, she speaks to and trains academic audiences on how to use career tools like personal branding and networking.
