About
Providing a platform for scientists.
Bolded Science is a collaborative blog for members of the scientific community. As misinformation propagates on the internet, mistrust in science and medicine is growing. More than ever, there is a call for scientists to participate in public communications and advocacy.
Bolded Science has two goals:
1) provide a platform for scientists to communicate their stories and ideas on social media
2) enable scientists to gain experience with informal, public writing.

Kerry Silva McPherson holds a B.A in Biotechnology from Assumption College and an M.S in Cell and Molecular Biology from the University of New Haven. Her Master's research explored the relationship between breast cancer progression and mesenchymal cells of the tumor microenvironment. She also worked as a writing tutor during her time at UNH.
Currently, Kerry attends UCONN Health where she researches proteins involved in chemotherapy resistance. She is a 4th year PhD student and is interested in a career as an MSL or as a science communicator. She began the Bolded Science blog in December 2019 as a medium to exercise her science communication skills and to help fellow communicators share their stories and interests in science. Kerry also co-founded UCONN's STEM education outreach program, Young Explorers' in Science (YES). YES connects UCONN graduate students with school systems of Connecticut with diverse backgrounds.
