I'm Alison. For the past two decades I've worked where science, healthcare and communication meet. After an academic career I moved into consulting, partnering with pharmaceutical companies and healthcare organizations to explain the ideas behind their innovations.

I’m motivated by a curiosity about scientific discovery and a skill for translating complex advances into clear, impactful stories. Each week I blend my scientific training and industry experience to highlight advances in healthcare in my Healthy Innovations newsletter – covering what they are and why they matter.

When I’m not reviewing the latest healthcare breakthroughs or meeting startup founders, I advise healthcare companies on how to communicate their value and raise their profiles. That vantage point keeps me close to emerging advances, and I share those insights here.
