With a pandemic at hand, laboratory medicine professionals must no longer be hidden heroes

Michael Schubert | | Opinion

As a child in the Canadian wilderness, I went survival camping every year in the Rockies – in one of the highest-density bear populations in North America.

About the Author

Michael Schubert

While obtaining degrees in biology from the University of Alberta and biochemistry from Penn State College of Medicine, I worked as a freelance science and medical writer. I was able to hone my skills in research, presentation and scientific writing by assembling grants and journal articles, speaking at international conferences, and consulting on topics ranging from medical education to comic book science. As much as I’ve enjoyed designing new bacteria and plausible superheroes, though, I’m more pleased than ever to be at Texere, using my writing and editing skills to create great content for a professional audience.
