Sarah Wells
Science Journalist
I am interested in the philosophical questions of science and technology, and have been known to wax poetic about dead mathematicians and the ennui of light particles from time to time.
​
​
I completed my B.A. in English (with double minors in physics and computer science) at Clark University in 2017 and my M.S in Science Journalism at Boston University in 2018.
​
Since 2018, I have been freelancing for publications like Nature, Popular Mechanics, and Science News Explores --- among others. I cover all things technological from emotional robots to the strange world of machine learning and quantum computing as well as physics, space, AI and beyond.

Services
Writing
I have experience covering breaking news and writing in-depth features on complicated science topics and love to look for the human story behind the science. I cover these types of stories for both traditional journalism outlets as well as universities and institutions.
Knowledge Capture + Report Writing
I have experience attending executive meetings and workshops for scientific institutions such as NIH and NIST (both in-person and virtual) to capture scientific notes, provide high-level summaries, and write post-meeting reports for publication.
​
I also offer editing services for academics on projects like manuscripts, white papers, and grant applications. Please reach out to talk projects and rates.
