What does a science writer do? We turned to Rina-Shaikh Lesko, who trained and worked as an epidemiologist and then switched gears and became a science writer. But, before becoming a science writer Shaikh-Lesko went back to school to study Science Communication from University of California Santa Cruz.

This interview is part of an upcoming longer interview with Shaikh-Lesko and is part of our Women in Science and Tech series.
