Thomas Solomon PhD.
My mission is to empower scientists at any level to produce high-quality output by collecting and analysing data with integrity, writing with clarity, and reporting with accuracy.
I am Thomas Solomon, PhD. I’m an accomplished health science researcher with specialised expertise in metabolism, biochemistry, nutrition, and exercise science, particularly focused on metabolic disease prevention and treatment in obesity and type 2 diabetes. I spent 16 years in academia (2002–2018) and, as a former Associate Professor and research group leader, I gained extensive experience in team management and leadership, clinical trials, systematic review and meta-analysis, cell biology, biostatistics, scientific/medical writing, peer review, and grant writing. My success as a researcher is demonstrable through several large grant awards, many media interviews and invited talks, and 89 PubMed-indexed journal publications, which have had considerable impact with 6800 citations.
I left academia in 2018 to explore other opportunities and seek new challenges. I established Blazon Scientific to provide freelance consulting in scientific/medical writing and data analysis for scientists at universities and biotech companies globally. In addition, I provide health science research, writing, and data analysis services for Examine.com. Furthermore, I am actively involved in science communication through owning and managing Veohtu.com, a free educational platform that filters the signal from the noise and provides high-quality, thoroughly-researched, bullshit-free information about exercise and nutrition science to athletes and coaches.
My core skill set includes evidence synthesis, clinical trial methodology, data science (exploratory data analysis, biostatistics, and machine learning with R and Python), scientific/medical writing, and peer review. Additionally, I am well-versed in the strengths and limitations of AI tools in research, particularly the data extraction behaviour and accuracy of large language models (LLMs).
Overall, I am passionate about extracting, synthesising, analysing, and communicating high-quality information that can be applied in practice to enhance people’s health.
