ABOUT

Communicating medical research to ensure its impact and value is understood by all.

I'm Trish Dwight, founder and principal writer at Convey Your Science.

I established Convey Your Science to help scientists, health professionals and patient advocacy organisations share the impact and value of medical research – so it’s understood by all.

I believe research findings can be communicated effectively – within the scientific, medical, and broader community – leading to improved health and wellbeing.

As an Australian based medical writer, I have a particular interest in:

• Showcasing researchers and conveying their findings to ensure the broader community understands the value of medical research.

• Developing scientifically sound and clinically relevant research proposals to ensure funding bodies easily and clearly see the value and impact.

• Enabling and empowering people to make informed decisions in relation to their health – through the provision of timely, engaging, and relevant information and resources.

As an experienced cancer biologist, awarded a PhD in 2002 (University of Sydney), I've authored over 45 peer-reviewed journal articles and acted as a reviewer for a number of respected journals in the field of cancer. I've also presented research findings at local, national, and international forums, and attained national (including NHMRC) and international research funding.

As a scientific communicator within the pharmaceutical industry (Eli Lilly Australia) I developed and disseminated scientific publications (manuscripts, abstracts, presentations) and regulatory documents (protocols, clinical study reports, clinical trial registry summaries) across a number of therapeutic areas (oncology, endocrinology, cardiovascular and neuroscience).

More information on my experience and publications can be found on LinkedIn and ORCID.

When I’m not writing – you’ll find me swimming in the ocean, sharing my love of the water by teaching adults how to swim, trail running, exploring Australia (and other countries when possible), or experimenting in the laboratory – gaining insights into what causes cancer and how we can prevent it.
