Scientist and storyteller based in NYC

As a neuroscientist, I understand that data are only as good as the asterisks they are produced with.

Hi! My name is Melissa Lee, and I am a neuroscientist and creative communicator based in Harlem, NYC. I like thinking about how to communicate science in a way that reaches new people. In my mind, that means bringing science to people wherever they are, using tools they are already familiar with—such as in writing, art, social media, and design. I also like cooking and rock climbing. And, I have a really cute cat.
