About Jennifer I am a full time science journalist who writes about research news in the life-sciences discipline. I am currently an active contributor to Science 2.0 and the Lancet Oncology. A bit a about my background: I have a PhD in Neuroscience, where I studied how injured axons in the spinal cord can be repaired with novel therapeutic compounds. From January 2010-2013, I joined the Jia group at the UBC Brain Research Centre as a postdoctoral fellow, where I studied cancer stem cells in brain tumors, and how to selectively eliminate them with oncolytic viruses. While working as a postdoc, I have started my own science column on Science 2.0, and have written a number of science articles on Science 2.0 since 2010.
