Scientific Storytelling
Your device, your data, your story.
Finding Your Narrative
Evidence Strategy
Are your claims backed by reliable data? We go through the statements you want to make and the clinical data that you have to make sure they match. You’ll receive a custom Evidence Gap Analysis that describes where your claims are strong and which gaps need to be filled along with a detailed roadmap of how to close them.
Publication Planning
You did the hard work to acquire the essential clinical data, now you need to tell the world. We create your long-term Publication Plan that outlines a series of manuscripts to be published in leading journals to ensure you reach your target audience.
Conference Preparation
You know you need to attend important meetings, but who has the time to plan? We help you target the right conferences for your busy schedule, whether intimate regional gatherings or the biggest meeting in your field. We can write and submit your abstract, design your poster, and create slides for your podium presentation.
Science Communication Coaching
Have you heard of the Curse of Knowledge? It’s when you know your topic so well that you forget how to explain it to people who don’t live in the trenches with you. Virtually or in-person, we can coach you through your presentation to ensure the right people are getting the right message.
Odds & Ends
White papers, internal reports, scripts for scientific animations, full-text PDF library organization, and more.
