Bio
Elizabeth Zubritsky
I hired Laura as a freelance writer and occasional editor for the news sections of two scientific journals, the Journal of Proteome Research and Analytical Chemistry. She is a versatile professional who works independently and consistently delivers excellent stories on time and at the specified length. She takes great care to produce accurate, engaging stories, and she earned the trust of many highly respected researchers. I worked with her for more than 5 years and would not hesitate to hire her again if the opportunity arose.

Laura has always provided us with exceptional pieces. Her articles are always insightful and she always meets our deadlines. Despite being extremely talented, she's the most humble and hardworking writer we've worked with and I'm looking forward to sending her more work for years to come.

Freelance Science Writer & Editor
-
Jun 2005 - Jan 2015
I write scientific articles on a freelance basis for a variety of publications. As a Ph.D. biochemist, I have first-hand knowledge of laboratory procedures and terminology, which allows me to efficiently communicate with scientists about their work and quickly discern the most important issues. I also edit scientific manuscripts and grants for researchers, many of whom are non-native English speakers. I help increase their chances of publication or funding by improving grammar, style, clarity, and flow. Show less
