I’m Betsy Ladyzhets, a data journalist and science writer. I recently graduated from Barnard College (Columbia University) with a dual degree in biology and English, and I have a diverse background in research, writing, editing, and managing small publications. I currently work as a Research Associate at Stacker, where I am responsible for managing the publication’s science, health, and lifestyle content. My past work has appeared in outlets including Bwog (Columbia Student News) and the communications of Black Rock Forest. I seek to build connections between scientists and readers with all levels of scientific knowledge.
