Kristopher Benke
PhD Chemist, Science writer
Writing Portfolio
Writing for the general public, reporters, and experts

2021 -Â present
At Cell Press, I write press releases about newly published articles in the life and physical sciences, from microbiology to materials science.
2019 - 2021
Areas of science like chemistry can have a high barrier to entry, so I have written easy-to-follow articles about a wide range of topics directly from the primary literature, ranging from single molecule microscopy and nanoparticles to moth pheromones.


2020 - 2023
Academic journals often feature short snippets designed to draw readers to their most exciting articles. I write JACS Spotlights to highlight the latest research in the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS).
