Articles with NHGRI

From 2022 to 2025, I worked as a science writer at the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), part of NIH. Here, I wrote and edited articles, video scripts, educational resources, and other materials about genomics and health equity. I also served as the lead editor for the monthly newsletter The Genomics Landscape.

Note: Some links may be broken. Most of my work with NHGRI was published on genome.gov, a federal website, and so some articles were lost when pages mentioning diversity, health equity, or related topics were taken down. I have not removed the links here, both because pages may be restored and to serve as a record of some of what’s missing.
