Daniel Walton

Science Writer and Editor

United States

I am a science writer and editor and a current graduate student in the University of Cincinnati's Professional Writing program. Building on my first-hand experience with the academic research environment, I hope to serve as a bridge between scientists and the general public in the education, marketing, and publishing industries. My goal is to communicate the wonder and value of scientific work in a way that is easily understood and that allows people to make informed decisions about scientific affairs.
