Susanna J Dodgson BSc(Hons), PhD

On my passport I have my profession as scientist. That is the beginning and end of who I am. Writing and publishing and graphic design (all of which I love to do) must serve truth, and scientists must seek truth, thirst for truth, give every last breath for truth.

I do take freelance jobs writing marketing and regulatory documents. I am also available as a speaker on the African pharmaceutical industry, African health, HIV/AIDS, diabetes, publishing, editing and writing.
