About Miriam I am now a fledgling freelance science writer, working hard at establishing my new career. I live with my husband, who is also a biological scientist, in the New York area. Most recently, I spent 4 years as a medical writer at a medical marketing company. I have decided to focus on science writing, as opposed to medical writing, because I wanted to get back to my roots in basic science, and I have a keen interest in the way scientific discoveries impact our society. I was lucky enough to be able to explore these interests as a Christine Mirzayan intern at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, DC (http://www7.nationalacademies.org/policyfellows/Winter_2002_Fellows.html), in the Division of Science, Technology and Law. I received my Ph.D. in Developmental and Molecular Biology from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Sue Golding Graduate Division of Medical Sciences, in September 2001. I studied the regulation of gene expression during Drosophila (fruit fly) embryonic development in Dr. E. Richard Stanley’s lab. Prior to graduate school I worked as a technician in Bernie Weinstein’s lab at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, on a colon cancer project. I received my BA in Biological Sciences from Rutgers University, Newark College of Arts and Sciences.
