Turns out people want science explained — not simplified.
Built during a PhD. Somehow still here.
Expanded into media features, education work, and science communication collaborations
I started with a PhD studying what happens inside cells under stress, and ended up asking a bigger question: “what happens to science when nobody outside the lab can understand it?” The answer became my career.
Graduated from UW–Madison with degrees in Molecular Biology and Legal Studies, because I always cared about what happens to science after the experiment: who funds it, who it reaches, and who it leaves out.
Completed my PhD at the University of Miami in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, researching the intersection of cancer biology and neurodegeneration, the kind of connection that rarely makes it out of the journal.
Worked as a patent law clerk at Arnold & Porter and served as a Washington Science Policy Fellow, a rare front-row seat to how science moves, or doesn't, through policy and law.
Built Chloe the Scientist from scratch in 2019, starting as a passion project during my PhD and growing it into a 125K+ community, while learning in public how to make research impossible to ignore.
Not all science shows up the same way. Some needs unpacking. Some needs questioning. Some needs to reach classrooms, policy rooms, and the communities research has historically talked about without ever talking to.
Breaking down ideas, challenging the culture around them, and making room for better conversations.
Practical perspective for people figuring out research life, academic systems, and the paths that don’t fit the default script.
Science in the classroom, in policy, and in the bigger conversations about equity, access, and who gets heard.
Two biochemists. One mission. Honest conversations about reforming the broken parts of academia.
New content, ongoing conversations, and the occasional rabbit hole worth going down.
New episodes drop every other Friday - honest conversations you won't find anywhere else. Pick your platform and never miss one.
For researchers, educators, and brands looking for a science‑credible collaborator who knows how to make complex ideas connect.
