About
LifeSci Signal.
Bridging the communication gap between scientists and the wider world by helping research become more accessible.
Why LifeSci Signal
was created
LifeSci Signal was created because great research deserves to be part of wider conversations. Scientific discoveries don't only belong in journals and conference halls - they can inspire curiosity, inform decisions, and shape society.
By sharing practical guidance, useful resources, and real-world examples, LifeSci Signal helps researchers communicate their work beyond academia with greater confidence and impact.

Hi, I'm Olivia, founder of LifeSci Signal.
I've always been driven by curiosity and a fascination with understanding how the world works. That curiosity led me into biomedical research, where I've explored everything from cold-adapted enzymes in Iceland to the molecular mechanisms underlying motor neurone disease, diagnostic technologies during the COVID-19 pandemic, and kidney physiology in Switzerland.
Along the way, I realised that while researchers are trained to generate knowledge, they're rarely given the support to share it beyond academia. That's what inspired me to create LifeSci Signal; a place to help researchers communicate their work with clarity, confidence, and impact.
LinkedInFrom research to communication
Research taught me how to ask questions and uncover new knowledge. Science communication showed me how to ensure those discoveries don't stop at publication. Bringing these two passions together led to the creation of LifeSci Signal.
