Embriette Hyde
As a PhD trained microbiome researcher (Baylor College of Medicine, 2014), my passion is to responsibly share science with the world. My career has moved me from managing a citizen science project to writing for the worried well to writing for biotech and other science enthusiasts. In all cases, hype is a threat, and I have made it my life goal to advocate for responsible science reporting and education. I am also passionate about training the next generation of scientists and providing students with opportunities that I didn't have growing up. And, I am available to share my expertise with those interested in studying the microbiome but who are unsure where to start. In all of these ways, I can help train people to responsibly digest, learn, and do the science that I am so passionate about.
