A I studied why cancer cells go quiet-and stumbled onto
something much bigger
Four years at the University of Miami taught me that the most interesting science happens at the edges, where one disease unexpectedly connects to another.
My Research Was About Stressed-Out Cells
Specifically, what happens inside a cell when things go sideways, and why some cancer cells just... stop and hide instead of growing. That's what amyloid bodies are about.
Then It Got Really Interesting
Those same stress patterns I was seeing in cancer? They showed up in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's too. Nobody talks about that connection nearly enough.
But Here's What Othered Me
All of this was sitting in journals nobody reads, written in language nobody outside a lab could understand. Important science, invisible to the world.
So I Decided To Do Something About It
Not just research. Not just publish. Actually talk about it, in a way that makes sense to real people, not just other scientists in a lab somewhere.
Beyond the Lab
The Lab was just
the beginning
The lab taught me how to ask good questions. Science communication taught me how to share the answers
I Built Chloe.The.Scientist From Scratch
What started as a passion project in 2019 grew into a community of 125K+ curious minds, students, researchers, and people who just love science and want to actually understand it.
I Became A Science Correspondent
At BiotechTV, I cover the stories behind the breakthroughs, the researchers, the discoveries, and why any of it matters to you.
I Became A Voice For People Who Felt Left Out Of Science
Not everyone grows up seeing themselves in a lab coat. I'm passionate about changing that, especially for underrepresented communities in STEM.
I Took The Conversation Everywhere
Podcasts, webinars, speaking engagements, if there's a room talking about science, I want to be in it.

Beyond Work
When I'm not talking about science, I'm doing something
equally me.
I read everything I can get my hands on
I share how I use online platforms responsibly not just to post research, but to build trust, start meaningful conversations, and make science approachable for everyone.
I bake when I need to think
There's something about following a recipe that clears my head. Plus, the results are delicious. Win-win.
I’m usually with my cats
Mochi and Pepper don’t care about science, and I love them for it. As far as they’re concerned, I’m just the person who fills their bowl.
I'm always planning the next adventure
New city, new culture, new perspective. Travelling reminds me why science communication matters, the world is so much bigger than any one lab or classroom.
