ABOUT
I’ve worked in science and medical communications on a freelance basis for 6+ years. I work with charities, companies, and academic clients to create publication-ready written and visual content for different audiences—including patients, researchers, clinicians, and the wider public. I love digging into the literature, turning complex science topics into engaging, accessible, and high-quality content backed up by thorough literature reviews and reliable sources.
Before moving into communications full time, I completed my PhD in life sciences—where I was developing targeted treatments for cancer and infections. My scientific background spans biomedicine, chemistry, and technology. I’ve worked across biotech and healthcare, positioning me well to create content for different audiences. Since leaving the bench, I’ve trained in graphic design, scientific writing, and editing, developing the appropriate skills to deliver effective written and visual communications.​​​

PORTFOLIO
WRITING
'Computing hospital spread' in eLife magazine. Tracking SARS-CoV-2 transmission patterns in hospitals has become easier thanks to a new algorithm.
'All together now' in eLife magazine. How do individual bacteria with different behaviors spatially organize themselves so they can travel as a tight-knit group?
'Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease — smartphones could help improve patient outcomes' in npj Digital Medicine. We have developed a diagnostic test for acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease using cough-sound analysis and simple clinical features. Patients can use the test, unaided, on their smartphone. Obtaining a rapid and reliable diagnosis is key to improving clinical outcomes.
'Stable gut, happy skin?' on RedoxBox website. The gut and skin share common features: both act as barriers to the outside world, protecting harmful substances from reaching the internal environment of the body; and both are lined with their own community of microbes (known as the microbiota)....Along with its microbiota, the inner workings of the gut can impact the skin. Here, we explore how the gut can influence skin health and disease.

“I highly recommend Brydie and will definitely be using her services again, for a number of reasons. Brydie was communicative and easy to work with, she committed to deliverables and deadlines which were met, if not exceeded. The quality of work she provided was superb. It is not easy to identify someone whom understands cellular biology and can pair it with an artistic perspective, and she provided aesthetic and scientifically accurate illustrations. I am so pleased to have worked with Brydie, as this project turned out great and I look forward to upcoming projects with her as well. I cannot say a single negative thing about the experience in working with her, all around it was wonderful."
