Frequently asked questions
Working with Blazon Scientific
Who do you work with?
I work with academic and clinical researchers, universities and hospitals, pharmaceutical and biotech organisations, digital-health teams, MedComms and SciComms agencies, and health or science news organisations.
Do you work only in metabolism and exercise science?
No. Those are my deepest specialist areas, but I regularly work across a much broader range of biomedical and health-science topics, including cardiometabolic disease, cancer, immunology, inflammation, neurological disease, reproductive health, and nutrition-related research.
Can one project combine several services?
Yes. A project can combine data analysis, evidence synthesis, manuscript writing, scientific editing, grant support, or scientific communications when that makes methodological and practical sense.
Is the first project discussion free?
Yes. The initial pre-project discussion is free. Additional phone or video discussions are charged only when agreed in advance, at €85 per hour pro rata.
Have a project in mind?
