“Creating Spaces. I think that’s what we really did with Keep it Science” As a scientist and rare disease patient, this season of the Keep it Science podcast - hosted together with Nick Gaunt - started as science communication about rare disease. Watch the season finale now: youtu.be/ikwMMOUOgqE

🎙️ How do you film an embryo as it builds itself? • How embryos move, change shape and shift position • How microscopes “follow” this movement in real time • Why cell tracking is essential for understanding development • What cutting-edge microscopes can (and can’t yet) do 1/2

Remote work may be efficient, but nothing beats meeting your colleagues in person! Had a fabulous time visiting Nicole Brooks to talk about upcoming events, business development, and small-business challenges. Key takeaway: Make the journey. Metaphorically and literally.

The best science outputs often start on paper - with a good strategy. In this blog, I share practical steps for scientists to make sure their complex work is communicated in the best way possible. www.zeeks-artforgeeks.com/post/034-how... #ScienceCommunication #BiotechFounders #PersonalInsights

Briefing a creative team properly is an underrated skill for scientists. Running Zeeks has taught me that communication starts long before creating material. The most successful projects happen when goals, audiences, messages, and constraints are clear. www.zeeks-artforgeeks.com/post/034-how...

About two years ago, Nick Gaunt convinced me to start a podcast with him. What followed, we couldn’t have dreamed off. In this latest blog, I reflect on three podcasts we’ve created. Read here: www.zeeks-artforgeeks.com/post/033-sci...

I often get asked if illness made me stronger. The honest answer? It made me kinder. In this episode of @Keep It Science, @KondwaniChirwa and I spoke about: • Empathy in healthcare • Why lived experience matters • How we can communicate science better 🎧 Listen now: youtu.be/6x9r9NfFcsc

Good science storytelling is as much about strategy as it is about content. From “Keep It Science” to “The Light-Sheet Chronicles”, I’ve seen firsthand how small editorial decisions can make a huge difference in how a podcast come together. Read here: www.zeeks-artforgeeks.com/post/033-sci...

📻️ Again, live on air (well, pre-recorded) at BBC Radio! Together with Dr Nick Gaunt, I will be talking about our Keep it Science podcast. This season, we put a spotlight on Rare Disease. > www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p... Big thanks to our wonderful guests! #podcast #rareDisease #autoimmune

What two years of science podcasting taught me! Over the past two years, running Zeeks’ science podcasts has taught me that value comes from much more than audio. In this post, I reflect on three podcasts we’ve worked on. Read here: www.zeeks-artforgeeks.com/post/033-sci...

Investors remember stories, not data slides. Dense slides or technical abstracts are not the thing we remember. In our latest blog, I outline how biotech founders can make science memorable. Read the article: www.zeeks-artforgeeks.com/post/032-the... #BiotechFounders #ScientificCommunication

💻 Image Registration Deep-Dive During my PhD, I spent a LOT of time on image registration, be it for motion correction or inter-sample registration. Since then, the field has moved on, but some challenges remain the same. 1/2

Communicate your science the way the brain remembers it. Stories activate multiple brain regions simultaneously, giving context and emotional weight to data. Investors retain narratives of discovery far more than raw numbers. Read here: www.zeeks-artforgeeks.com/post/032-the... #BiotechStrategy

“Talk to patients. As much and as often as you can.” Patient engagement is one of the most important forms of reality-checking we have. 🎙️ Link: youtu.be/bkk_okQ3mtk imyos.bsky.social International Myositis Society theebmt.bsky.social European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation

Investors remember stories, not data slides. Memory works through encoding, re-storage, and recall. Neuroscience shows that integrating emotional relevance, structure, and relatable analogies dramatically increases retention. Read more: www.zeeks-artforgeeks.com/post/032-the...

Rare Disease: Research, Language, and Diagnosis One of the most important themes in a disease journey is language. How we use language shapes: • who gets diagnosed • how long it takes • which treatments are offered • and how patients understand their own bodies 🧵 1/3

“For me, quality means being able to work, to cook, to see my friends to be functional.” Dr Jesus Zurdo That sentence stayed with me. In my darkest time of my autoimmune journey with an overlap conditions of Scleroderma and Raynaud’s, I laid in bed for days on end. 🎧 youtu.be/0wnPJRU_fl0

Scientists often think in details. Investors think in direction. Bridging those perspectives is a disciplined translation and can be learned! In this blog, we explore how to shape a science marketing narrative that resonates beyond the lab. The article: www.zeeks-artforgeeks.com/post/031-how...

Raw data rarely convinces investors. After three years running Zeeks and working closely with biotech founders, I can say with confidence: clarity and relevance are what shift a conversation from interest to investment. www.zeeks-artforgeeks.com/post/031-how... 1/4 #BiotechStrategy #DataToDecision
