My name is Miriam Bergeret, and I'm a former research scientist and trained professional editor and writer. 

I have more than six year's hands-on laboratory experience, including an Honours Bachelor degree in bio-medical science from the University of Guelph, Canada, and a Master's degree in laboratory medicine and pathobiology from the University of Toronto, where I conducted pre-clinical research in neurodegeneration. After my MSc, I joined the Princess Margaret Cancer Research Center where I conducted cancer stem cell research.

During that time, I helped many colleagues polish papers and dissertations for publication in peer-reviewed journals, as well as began freelancing as a science writer.

I went on to study publishing and English-language editing at Toronto Metropolitan University and completed professional scientific editing mentorships with Editors Canada. I also trained in science writing and journalism at the University of Toronto and through Poynter before joining the editorial staff of a trade science magazine in 2020, where I am now managing editor.

As a freelance editor and writer, I work with research scientists, scientific journals, nonprofit organizations, research institutes, science magazines, and more.
