Shekerah and Fatu continue their journey into the world of science communications with Dr. Sarah Ellinwood, Managing Editor at BioBuzz and Workforce Genetics. BioBuzz, the media and publication arm of Workforce Genetics, provides information for job seekers in the Washington D.C./Philadelphia area interested in the biotech field, like newly minted PhDs and postdocs looking for alternatives to academia. In addition to targeting job seekers, BioBuzz publishes articles for those interested in the regional biotech industry more broadly and want to know “who’s who” in the field. As a managing editor, Sarah can more or less do whatever she wants (within reason), but the main focus of her work is managing the editorial content of BioBuzz. This includes writing her own articles; providing final edits and reviewing articles written by staff writers or freelancers; coordinating the newsletter; and running with her own sparks of inspiration to craft articles she feels would connect well with readers. Recently, Sarah published an article connecting the life of plants to the biotechnology sector—and it was a hit! Sarah’s interest in science communication began in grad school; through workshops and networking, she was able to navigate the path of her career journey. For others interested in a similar career path, Sarah recommends getting out there and networking, and encourages reaching out to those already working in the field to learn more about how to get started. To help prepare the next generation of writers and managing editors, Sarah teaches a course on science communication with the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
