Episode 23
In this episode, I speak with Jenna Gallegos, Scientific Marketing Manager at a marketing company for diagnostic and life science brands. The first person she knew who “did science” and pursued higher education, Jenna earned a BS in Molecular Biology and PhD in Plant Biology. While a graduate student, Jenna developed a strong interest in science outreach, and afterwards, as a AAAS Mass Media Fellow, interned at the Science Desk of The Washington Post. She then returned to research and completed a postdoc before moving back into writing and then marketing at her current job.
