Catherine Whitlock - Dawn Fletcher
- After some fun years in medical research poring over a microscope, I now write about the scientific wonders that others have magnified.
- I write articles on a range of topics from genetic links with obesity (The Wellcome Trust) to the immunological effects of herbal medicines (The Times).
- Words that others have written, scientific or otherwise, also fascinate me and this passion extends to writing book reviews.
