Hello, I’m Patience

A Scientist with a passion for science communication

My goal is to make science compelling and engaging. I use virtual reality technology, drama, stories and radio programs to make science accessible.

I produce engaging, accurate and relatable science content that bridges the gap between complex research and the general public

I never planned to be a science communicator until a seed grant in science communication during my PhD training showed me how much change starts with clarity. Now, I’m on a mission to ensure that life-saving science doesn’t stay locked in journals.
